Clinical Pilates is a targeted, highly individualised and tailored type of strength and mobility training. Clinical Pilates is specifically focused on injury prevention and where needed, injury rehabilitation.
During your first Clinical Pilates session, your Physio will begin by taking you through a thorough assessment. This assessment is used to assess your movement patterns and soft tissue structures in order to tailor your program. Your physio will then prescribe a variety of Pilates-specific exercises based on that initial assessment.
Your Physio will utilise both Mat and Reformer Pilates techniques to offer the best exercise program for your individual needs.
We please ask that you wear comfortable sports clothing that gives you freedom to move when attending a Clinical Pilates class.

At ShapeShift we aim to develop a specific exercise program individually tailored to your needs, which allows us to track and record your progress from the moment you start with us.
As with all of our treatment and exercise plans, we aim to arm you with as much information and education as we can, so you are able to continue your rehab and exercise journey safely, long after you require us to be there with you.
Clinical Pilates sessions can be run as either a private session or a semi-private session. This means you can either have a 1 on 1 session with your physio, alternatively if you would prefer to train alongside somebody else, we can cater for up to 2 people in our Clinical Pilates classes.
