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.
Who created Clinical Pilates?
Your content goes here.
By partaking in the DMA Clinical Pilates courses and certification, I have been well supported, primed with knowledge and provided the clinical skills to offer each of my clients the best evidence based treatment program to assist in their recovery. I love that Clinical Pilates treatment enables any person of any physical and emotional level to partake in a specifically tailored program to work towards what is important to them. Clinical Pilates has formed a significant role in my assessment and treatment of clients and has enhanced my skills as a practitioner. Thank you DMA for such a professional, valuable and engaging pathway.
As a musculoskeletal physiotherapist passionate in the area of treating dance and performance sports, I strongly recommend DMA courses and certification to others who are wanting an active, evidence-based treatment style that is specific to the individual.
DMA is systematic and holistic, allowing me to treat the whole system rather than one area. It is a working collaboration between the physiotherapist and patient, permitting all persons at any physical level the opportunity to be assessed and treated using a personalised program. Thus, it aims to address patient goals, acute and chronic disorders, neurological conditions and effectively can be used as maintenance / prevention programs for long term management. It’s also exciting to witness functional changes within treatment time.
Craig is extremely knowledgeable, inspiring and very entertaining. The whole team have shown immense support and have been very efficient and friendly to communicate with. Thank you DMA for broadening my clinical knowledge with such professionalism.
