Clinical Exercise

Jurien Bay Physio offers ‘Clinical Exercise’ which may include a variety of exercise techniques, including Clinical Pilates or MBCT (Movement Based Classification & Treatment) which is based the client’s specific needs following assessment – definitley not ‘one size fits all’!

Our exercise programs are a safe and effective form of treatment using specific, individually tailored exercises to aid recovery and rehabilitation. Perfect for people with recurrent problems, enhancing postural control, improving body awareness, strength and flexibility to help you move more easily following injury or surgery.

We use a variety of specialised equipment including the pilates reformer, trapeze table and pilates chair and have completed the DMA Clinical Pilates training program (available only to physiotherapists) to provide you with the highest quality of care. DMA (Dance Medicine Australia) is the internationally recognised leader in development, training and research in the field of Clinical Pilates delivered by physiotherapists.

What is the difference between Clinical Pilates and Gym Pilates?

Many gyms & studios offer Pilates classes run by Pilates ‘instructors’, the exercises are multi directional and generalised– the difference here is the individual tailoring of your program by a qualified Clinical Pilates trained physiotherapist. Clinical Pilates utilises Movement Based Classification & Treatment. The MBCT model is determined by thorough history taking & physical assessment. It also highlights left-right asymmetries in your body we refer to as ‘bias’, your program is tailored to address this, regularly reassessed and progressed carefully. We’ll also provide you with specific exercises to do at home to aid in your recovery and for ongoing management.
