We are pioneers of evidence-based Clinical Pilates since 1988
DMA Clinical Pilates is used in leading clinics, hospitals and National Institutes of Sports throughout the world
What is Clinical Pilates?
Clinical Pilates is a treatment exercise model based on the original Pilates exercises.
DMA introduced Clinical Pilates in Australia in 1988 to meet the growing ‘Exercise as Medicine’ recommendation.
Our approach has been subject to independant research at masters, doctorate & PHD levels and is the only Pilates approach to be scrutinized and found effective at these levels. The focus is sub-grouping patient presentations using a proven decision-making algorithm as ‘every patient is different’, and that difference is their response to directional exercise loading.
This is not an homogeneous exercise protocol approach, it’s a heterogenous, cutting edge pathology treatment tool.
We treat, educate & manufacture

About Us
DMA Clinical Pilates™ is used in leading clinics, hospitals and National Institutes of Sport throughout the world.
Director and Physiotherapist Craig Phillips (founder of Clinical Pilates TM 1988) combined his knowledge as a former professional dancer with the Australian Ballet to study extensively in the USA with many of the Pilates masters and their contemporaries. He has gone on to develop and research Clinical Pilates as an exercise based treatment process, managing the problems that underlie injuries.
This innovative approach has moved the Physiotherapy world on from generic “core stability” work to individualised “functional stability” programs.
This is what makes DMA Clinical Pilates™ unique.
