What's the difference between clinical & reformer pilates?
The difference between Clinical Pilates and Reformer Pilates lies in their focus, application, and supervision. Clinical Pilates is specifically tailored to address individual injuries, medical conditions, or rehabilitation needs, often under the guidance of healthcare professionals like physiotherapists. It emphasises corrective exercises aimed at improving core strength, stability, and movement patterns to prevent future injuries and promote optimal physical function.
On the other hand, reformer pilates is a more general form of Pilates exercise conducted in group settings and primarily focuses on overall strength, flexibility, and body awareness using specialised equipment called a reformer.
While both forms of Pilates offer health benefits, clinical pilates provides a specialised and supervised approach for rehabilitation and injury prevention, whereas Reformer Pilates offers a more generalised workout experience.

What are the benefits of clinical pilates for pregnant women?
Clinical pilates during pregnancy offers numerous benefits that can support the health and well-being of both the mother and the developing baby throughout all trimesters. During the first trimester of pregnancy, gentle clinical pilates exercises can help strengthen the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor while alleviating early pregnancy discomforts such as nausea and fatigue.
In the second trimester of pregnancy, as the baby grows and the body undergoes more significant changes, clinical pilates can help alleviate back pain, sciatica, and hip pain by improving posture and alignment. By focusing on controlled movements and breathing techniques, clinical pilates prepares women for childbirth by strengthening muscles and joints, enhancing flexibility, and teaching effective birthing positions. Additionally, it promotes postnatal recovery by targeting abdominal exercises to help the stomach regain its strength after the baby arrives.
By addressing these key areas, a clinical pilates exercise program supports women throughout pregnancy and birth, promoting overall well-being for both mother and baby.
