CLINICAL EXERCISE AND PILATES

Clinical exercise and pilates at Croydon Physiotherapy is designed for each individual’s

specific needs by a specialised pilates trained physiotherapist. It is suitable for people of

all ages and levels of ability and is used to treat a wide range of injuries and disorders.

Our physiotherapists will complete a detailed assessment and create an individualised

pilates program for you based on their clinical findings with ongoing progressions as you

become stronger.

Clinical exercise and pilates can be a great adjunct and can be incorporated into your

physiotherapy sessions to assist with ongoing strengthening and prevention of injuries. It

can be particularly beneficial for:

- Back pain

- Neck and shoulder pain

- Lower limb pain

- Ante and post-natal conditions

- Sports injuries and return to high level sport and running

- Progressive return to the gym after injury

- Pelvic floor and core strengthening

- Osteoporosis

- Recovery after surgery

- Increasing flexibility and mobility of all joints

- Introduction to mat/reformer pilates for general health

- Postural strength

- Deconditioning or the maintenance/building of muscle as you age

We use a combination of mat and reformer pilates to improve strength and endurance,

as well as balance and the control of movements.

No referral is required and as a 1:1 clinical exercise and pilates session is assessed and

led by a physiotherapist, your session will be covered by most private health insurances

if you have physiotherapy as an extra.
