Clinical Pilates
Sports & Spinal’s clinical pilates-inspired classes are now named Core, Strength & Mobility Classes.
With an emphasis on core conditioning, breathing and body awareness, our Core, Strength & Mobility classes are a safe and highly effective way to stretch, strengthen and streamline your body without building bulk or stressing your joints.
Core, Strength & Mobility classes utilise various exercises that incorporate balance, power, strength and stability.
This can be done either using the Pilates equipment (reformer, trapeze table, exercise ball etc.) in a CSM Studio class or the form of a Mat Class, utilising bodyweight and minimal equipment. From here, we build and progress your program as appropriate with continued advice and education throughout, so you left feeling a better version of YOU.
Our Core, Strength & Mobility classes are a fitness regime for life, performed on a mat or with specialised equipment. The perfect complement to cardiovascular exercise, sport, rehab and life, these classes will leave you looking toned, feeling revitalised and moving with ease.
Both Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists run our classes with Clinical Pilates Experience. Clinical Pilates refers to one-on-one Pilates that are often used for injury rehabilitation and used in conjunction with physiotherapy. Sports & Spinal offers both and can cater to your exact needs.
All patients are required to have an initial assessment with a Physiotherapist before beginning any of our classes. This is to familiarise patients with any equipment, positions, exercises and identify any injuries/restrictions that we may need to be aware of prior to a patient attending a class.
Contact your local Sports and Spinal location to arrange a consultation. After this assessment, your first two weeks of classes is FREE!*
*Excludes Sports & Spinal Bayside (Hervey Bay) clinic.
BENEFITS OF PILATES
Core, Strength & Mobility classes are perfect for toning and reshaping the body. It works on creating long, lean muscles, toning all of those hard to target areas such as the abdominals, inner thighs, buttocks, back of thighs, sides and backs of the arms. For toning, these classes are best performed 3 to 5 times a week through a combination of studio sessions, mat classes and home exercises.
Pilates exercises are performed through a wide range of movements and work on lengthening the muscles at the same time as strengthening them. To increase flexibility, stretching exercises need to be performed daily.
The Clinical Pilates exercises used in our Core, Strength & Mobility classes focus on strengthening the weakened postural muscles and stretching the tight muscles that pull the body into these poor postures. Studio sessions are the best way to improve posture as our physiotherapists can develop a program to target your specific postural problems. Pilates can also be used for back pain as it relaxes and strengthens the muscles, easing the discomfort.
Our Core, Strength & Mobility classes use Clinical Pilates techniques which are fantastic for injury rehabilitation and prevention as it works on core stability, posture, flexibility, and correcting muscle imbalances and weaknesses via specific strengthening. It can be used for arthritis, neck pain, back pain and various injuries.
Pilates is the secret tool that many high level and recreational athletes use to enhance their performance, decrease the risk of injuries and provide much-needed cross-training. Each sport has specific strength and flexibility requirements. When you book in for an assessment, your physiotherapist will look at the things you need to work on to improve your performance and then proceed to design a Pilates program for you.

LOWER BACK PAIN ⚡️
Unfortunately, back pain is a common problem in our society, with 80-90% of adults experiencing back pain in their lifetime.
Here’s 3 tips you should know:
1. Early movement is key! Avoiding bed rest is important in helping your recovery and will not cause harm 🧘♀️
2. Pain does not necessarily mean damage! Think of pain as your body’s internal alarm system, sensing for danger that might cause you harm. Sometimes, this alarm system can react in a way that’s not proportionate to the danger it detects 🚨 ‼️
3. Don’t panic! Most lower back pain will go away within the first 4-6 weeks. Be confident your back will get better with time if you stay active and follow the advice given by your health professionals
Here’s some of @sportsandspinalmorayfield go-to exercises for lower back pain. For a further individualised assessment, book in with any of our Sports & Spinal teams and let us get you (back) on track 💪🏻
