CLINICAL PILATES INSTRUCTORS

The Clinical Pilates programme incorporates the work of stabilisation training, neural mobilisation, load effects on pathology and injuries, injury provocation as well as spinal and peripheral biomechanics.

The approach of Clinical Pilates is to basically remove and modify the Pilates work, to minimise the potentially harmful effects.
