Personalized Clinical Pilates by Certified Practitioners

At Life Balance, Clinical Pilates is an individually tailored treatment method, provided by our certified DMA practitioners. It is unique & very different from the generic or Fitness Pilates that you may find at a gym or other Pilates studio. Our practitioners incorporate specific Pilates-based exercises into tailored-treatment plans, in order to treat each patient individually, according to their clinical assessment. As Clinical Pilates is used to treat patients individually, it is only truly effective when prescribed by a practitioner, based on their individual assessment of each patient, using their medical knowledge & training. Your physiotherapist or chiropractor will establish your own personalised program, ensuring you are using the correct techniques safely, & continuously assess your progress to ensure you are achieving the desired results.

• Our Clinical Pilates studio is fully equipped with purpose built & designed, state-of-the-art spring loaded equipment that is safe, controlled and accessible to all ages & physical abilities.
  
  
• Scientific research now supports DMA Clinical Pilates as one of the most powerful exercise treatment tools that physiotherapists & chiropractors can use.
  
  
• Clinical Pilates was created, by DMA founder, Craig Phillips, over 25 years ago.

What to expect at your first Clinical Pilates appointment

Your initial consultation will be with a clinician - either a physiotherapist or chiropractor. Your therapist will conduct a full-clinical assessment, taking into account your history, lifestyle, work & recreational activities & general health. Before undertaking any action, your physiotherapist or chiropractor will give you a detailed diagnosis & explain their recommended course of treatment for your condition, be it traditional physiotherapy, Clinical Pilates or a combination of both. In addition to clinic-based treatment, your practitioner may prescribe techniques or exercises that you can do at home, by yourself, in-between treatment sessions.

You will need to wear comfortable clothes that allow the practitioner to perform their assessments.
