02.01.2022 Happy International Pilates Day!! Have you ever wondered what the difference between clinical Pilates and fitness Pilates is? Clinical Pilates is ideal for those who are injured, suffer from pain or would like to start exercising. During your first session your practitioner will perform a detailed assessment to identify the diagnosis but also work out what factors are contributing. This could be a combination of muscle imbalances, poor muscle activation, body... awareness issues, poor balance, joint stiffness and muscle tightness. These findings are then used to create an individualised Pilates program tailored specifically to these needs to help resolve your pain and leave you functioning better. Group Pilates classes whether on the reformer or mat, are for those who are ready to progress from clinical Pilates or want a well-rounded program focusing on alignment, balance, flexibility and strength to improve general well-being and health. #myhealthco #clinicapilates #kxpilates #kxpilatesglenwaverley #kxpilatesknox #kxpilatesoakleigh
