What is Clinical Pilates?

Clinical Pilates is a form of exercise that blends traditional Pilates principles

with modern rehabilitation techniques.

It focuses on improving functional movement, which means enhancing your ability to perform everyday activities with greater ease and efficiency.

​

Here are some key aspects of Clinical Pilates:

​

  • Core Strength and Stability: It targets deep core muscles, including the abdominal, pelvic, and back muscles, to improve spinal support and overall stability. This can help prevent injuries and alleviate chronic pain.​

  • Flexibility and Mobility: Controlled movements and stretching exercises enhance joint mobility and muscle flexibility, making it easier to move freely and reduce stiffness.​

  • Postural Alignment: Clinical Pilates emphasizes proper posture and alignment, which can correct imbalances and reduce strain on muscles and joints.​

  • Rehabilitation and Injury Prevention: It is often used as a therapeutic tool for recovering from injuries or surgeries. The exercises are tailored to individual needs, ensuring safe and effective rehabilitation.​

  • Mind-Body Connection: By focusing on breathing techniques, mindfulness, and precise movements, Clinical Pilates promotes body awareness and mental clarity.​

​​

Unlike regular Pilates, Clinical Pilates at Saltwater Chiropractic is guided by Prue who has combined her knowledge of Chiropractic with her Pilates training, ensuring that the exercises are customized to your specific goals and physical condition.

​

It's a low-impact, adaptable exercise suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels.
