Clinical Exercise
Our boutique, light-filled studio is located in The Hive Shopping Centre within Yarra Medical in Abbotsford; only a stone’s throw from vibrant Richmond, Kew, Hawthorn, Collingwood, Clifton Hill, Fairfield and East Melbourne.
What is Clinical Exercise?
Clinical Exercise is an intricate form of rehabilitation. It is an individually tailored treatment method in the form of physical exercises that focus on core stability, optimal posture, breathing, strength and flexibility.
How does Clinical Exercise differ from Generic Studio Pilates?
Generic Studio Pilates sessions are often run in large groups, usually seen in gyms and studios, and offer one program that is supposedly “fit for all”.
Clinical Exercise sessions are instructed by highly qualified health professionals with post-graduate qualifications who base their program on strong evidence on managing injuries. Programs are tailored for individuals and group sizes are much smaller.
Why Choose Clinical Exercise at MOVE?
Equipment
We use a variety of modalities such as mat work, spring-loaded machines (including reformer, cadillac, ladder barrel, wunda chair) and small props (including resistance bands, Pilates circle, fit ball, foam roller and hand weights) to help you obtain the most benefits from your session.
Professional Expertise
Our sessions are instructed by qualified physiotherapists; experts in injury management, human anatomy and biomechanical function. We have post-graduate Pilates qualifications including DMA (Dance Medicine Australia), APPI (Australasian Physiotherapy Pilates Institute) and Polestar Pilates.
Private Sessions
Private sessions allow us to provide hands-on facilitation to fine tune your techniques. We want to get to know you and to understand your body’s requirements. Semi-private sessions are limited to a maximum of 2 people as a larger group can reduce the quality of your session and lead to injuries.
Who can benefit from Clinical Exercise?
Clinical Exercise is used as a treatment method for various conditions.
