Rediscover Your Core with Clinical Pilates at Physiolistic

At Physiolistic, we understand that pain can significantly impact your core stability. Often, even after the initial pain subsides, the deep core muscles remain inhibited, leaving you vulnerable to recurring issues. This is why we offer Clinical Pilates, a specialised approach designed to rebuild your core from the ground up.

Why Clinical Pilates?
  • Unlike general Pilates classes, which often assume a functional core, our Clinical Pilates program acknowledges that after pain, especially back pain, your core may be significantly weakened. Studies show that after just a week of back pain, the core muscles can reduce by 50% in size. Simply jumping into a regular gym Pilates class can exacerbate problems, leading to further pain and frustration.
  • Our physiotherapists, all of whom have undertaken extensive postgraduate training in Pilates and Clinical Pilates, focus on the deep core muscles:
  • Transversus Abdominis: This muscle acts like a corset, providing crucial stability to the spine.
  • Multifidus: These small muscles attach to the vertebrae, offering segmental control and support to the lower back.
  • Pelvic Floor: These muscles play a vital role in core stability and pelvic support.
  • Diaphragm: Essential for breathing and core engagement.
  • These muscles don't create large movements; instead, they work together to provide a stable base, an "A-frame," from which all other muscles can function. This offloads pressure on the lower back and improves segmental control.
  • A strong core is also essential for proprioception – your body's ability to sense its position in space. This is critical for preventing back pain and ensuring smooth, coordinated movement. Our Clinical Pilates program helps you regain this vital connection.
  • To enhance your learning experience, our physiotherapists can utilise diagnostic ultrasound. This powerful tool provides real-time visual feedback, allowing you to see and understand how your deep core muscles are engaging. It helps you isolate and strengthen these muscles with precision, accelerating your recovery.
  • Our goal is to guide you through a tailored Clinical Pilates program, building your core strength and stability to a level where you can confidently and safely participate in general Pilates classes or other fitness activities.
  • If you're struggling with core weakness or recurring back pain, Clinical Pilates at Physiolistic can help you rediscover your strength and stability. Contact us today to learn more and begin your journey to a stronger, healthier you.
