Clinical Pilates & injury rehabilitation


Clinical Pilates utilizes the Pilates Method to curate programs tailored to an individual’s goals and needs. Clinical Pilates aims to functionally target movement rehabilitation using movement control.

We use physical therapy to recover from surgeries, or injuries after surgery, sporting improvement and for conditions such as:

  • Lower back pain

  • Shoulder injuries (frozen, tear, strain)

  • Scoliosis

  • Mental health

  • Pelvic floor prolapse

  • Shin splints

  • Chondromalacia Patella

  • Plantar Fasciitis

  • Achillies Tendonitis

  • Arthritis

    Upon starting, an initial consultation will be done. We will discuss any pathologies (pre or existing), specific goals your wanting to achieve. A postural/movement assessment and tests will be done specific to your injury and/or goals.  It’s here where we will establish/refine the Principals of Pilates using some Matwork, Reformer and some other props on hand. Contact studio@atoem.com.au to book your initial consultation.

 

Pre/Post-Natal Pilates

Our aim is to help expectant mothers maintain their overall health and wellbeing during pregnancy and create a sense of sisterhood with fellow expectant mothers, in separate Pilates experiences. Some benefits of Pre and Post-Natal Pilates while pregnant include:

  • Strengthening the pelvic floor

  • Relaxation and relieving stress

  • Encourages the baby into a forward (anterior) lying position; optimal position for labor and birth

  • Can move a posterior baby off your back

  • Improve self-confidence and a positive body image

  • Aid and encourage good posture

  • Helps to maintain overall fitness, health and wellbeing

  • Promotes good balance, flexibility and coordination

  • Relieves back pain from pregnancy

  • Abdominal control and awareness

  • Reduces the chance of uterine prolapse

We understand that everyone’s time during pregnancy is different and we believe in creating independent classes which reflect this. Pre/Post-Natal Pilates is specifically designed to accommodate the needs of the expectant mother, though we also recommend having advice from your doctor or midwife/gynaecologist prior to booking into a session.
