Led by physiotherapists, our Clinical Pilates classes aim to promote movement and strengthening to people of all fitness levels.

Pilates is a form of exercise that works to improve the stability and control of your muscles, and can be adjusted to suit a wide range of abilities. Clinical Pilates differs in that these classes are led by trained physiotherapists who hold expert anatomical knowledge and specialise in injury management, and so will tailor your session to perfectly suit your body and its needs. At Malvern Physiotherapy Clinic, our Clinical Pilates classes are held in our purpose-built studio that has been fitted out with the latest equipment, including reformers, trapeze table and pilates chair.
There are a number of ways that Clinical Pilates training can positively impact your day-to-day life. Clinical Pilates can be effective as part of proactive injury prevention, strengthening your muscles and stabilising your body to reduce the likelihood of injury.
Its low impact exercises make it a great way to move your body without placing your joints under excessive strain, and it promotes flexibility and mobility throughout the body.
If you have recently been injured or you’re returning to exercise after some time off, Clinical Pilates can help to reintroduce exercise into your regular routine and improve your overall strength. It is also a great way to balance running, swimming and other forms of sport and exercise.
We offer a range of class options to best suit your needs, including Individual 1:1 sessions, small group 1:3 classes, and pregnancy & post-natal specific 1:3 classes.
