Is Pilates Right for Me?
Pilates predominantly focusses on core musculature, however you can expect to see strength gains in your arms and legs too. Positions and movements used to activate core muscle groups rely on extremities to control &/or apply loads to the core. Therefore your upper and lower limb muscles will get a good workout with Pilates (using your body weight as resistance vs weights). The exercises in a Pilates workout will improve your flexibility and joint mobility. Pilates is also helpful to maintain healthy bone density levels.
Be aware that Pilates is not designed to be a cardio workout.
Pilates is classed as low-impact exercise. You’ll engage your muscles in a strong but gentle way. Pilates can cater to all levels of ability. It is appropriate for beginners: at Dunsborough Physio Centre our one-on-one Pilates are designed specifically to you to ensure you are working at an appropriate level. You can start with basic exercises then try more advanced moves as you get better.
If you are looking to strengthen your abdominals and pelvic musculature, as well as maintain good posture, then Pilates is for you. It also has a strong mind/body connection, so you may like it if you enjoy yoga but need a more intense core workout.
Pilates is great for strengthening and toning with a focus on your core, and for increasing your flexibility. Since it is not designed to be an aerobic activity, remember to incorporate regular cardio workouts into your fitness regime.
Pilates involves precise moves and specific breathing techniques. Pilates can be very demanding, so start slowly.

Different Types of Pilates
There are numerous styles of Pilates available. Some of the better known versions include Classical Pilates, Mat (Floor) Pilates, Contemporary Pilates, Reformer Pilates, and Clinical Pilates.
Floor (Mat) Pilates
Mat pilates is performed on the floor using an exercise or yoga mat. This form of pilates employs controlled breathing during body-weight resisted movements and positions to build core strength, and improve flexibilty. This form of pilates is most easily continued on at home as it requires very little specialised equipment. Dunsborough Physio Centre can supply all of your Pilates needs for home-based Pilates sessions.

Clinical Pilates
Clinical Pilates differs from Pilates, in that it takes into account an individual's specific injuries and physical needs, instead of having every person work in the same way. Clinical Pilates offers a personalisation that isn't available with standard Pilates.
Dunsborough Physiotherapy Centre offers one-on-one Pilates tuition to ensure correct posturing and appropriate exercise progression.

Reformer Pilates
Reformer Pilates was invented by Pilates founder Joseph Pilates. This style of Pilates is performed on a bed-like frame that uses different weighted spring combinations to create resistance when the carriage moves back and forth.
By using a reformer bed small muscle groups (important for creating stability) can be targeted, which helps to form long, lean muscles. You can generally perform more exercises than what’s possible on a mat, and cover a wide range of movements – from sitting and lying on your back or side, to balancing on your knees and using your feet to create resitance and challenge core musculature.

Classical Pilates : Joseph Pilates developed the Pilates method and taught Pilates from the early 1920s. Joseph Pilates intended Pilates sessions to be a strong full body and mind workout executed in a particular order and included transitions between exercises. Classical Pilates typically combines mat and apparatus work following a sequence which is designed to move the body through a full range of movement.
Contemporary Pilates is a variation of Classical Pilates combined with contemporary forms of exercise such as physiotherapy prescribed rehab exercises, whilst also incorporating modern knowledge of the body and biomechanics. In Contemporary Pilates, more often than not, classes will vary depending on the instructor’s teacher training but can also be guided by the objectives, goals and the health of the student.
