Clinical Pilates

Clinical Pilates is a form of exercise used by physiotherapists to decrease pain, improve function and improve the way in which you move.

At SportsMed Subiaco, this is always part of an overall treatment/management plan following a comprehensive physiotherapy assessment. The primary focus of this type of exercise is to optimise muscle recruitment and efficiency during functional tasks to reduce pain, improve movement and promote a strong and healthy spine.

All of our Clinical Pilates Physiotherapists are qualified in DMA Clinical Pilates, a scientific and evidence-based form of Pilates training endorsed and accredited by the Australian Physiotherapy Association.

Clinical Pilates is highly effective for:

Spinal pain management and prevention
Sports-related strength & conditioning
Rehabilitation post-surgery or traumatic injury
Osteoporosis and arthritis management
Hypermobility disorder
Enhancing movement including agility and flexibility
Balance retraining
Pain management
Prenatal, antenatal and postnatal conditioning
Injury prevention for elite athletes, dancers, runners, golf players & sports people
General fitness and muscle toning
People of all ages including young adolescents to the elderly

At SportsMed Subiaco, we begin with a thorough clinical assessment to collect information on your past injury and medical history, any current issues and activity levels. Assessment of functional movements and specific tests are utilised to generate tailored exercises specific to your needs. This is followed by supervised sessions with your Physiotherapist known as semi-private tuition. During these sessions, you will use specialised Pilates equipment including reformers and trapeze tables as well as some mat-based exercises as part of your exercise regime. Thorough feedback and correction will be provided throughout to ensure correct technique and performance. There is often additional exercise advise during these sessions related to stretching, postural control, ergonomics and cardiovascular fitness.

Once you feel confident and competent with the use of the equipment and exercises, your Physiotherapist will then provide you with an individualised program that you will be able to perform independently within our studio. Your Physiotherapist will continue to monitor your performance of this program and modify your exercises as you advance towards your goals.

You are also able to participate in a small-group circuit class within our studio. The circuit class will run by one of our Physiotherapists who will continue to oversee your performance and make any adjustments where needed. Home or gym-based programs can also be developed specifically for you.

Private Health Fund rebates apply to initial assessments, supervised sessions and circuit classes.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I saw Hugh for a running related injury and the service was outstanding. I was able to book in at short notice, where Hugh was knowledgeable, friendly, and very understanding of my injury and my goals. Sportsmed were able to refer me for an MRI and supported with prompt booking of appointments and called promptly after results were received to discuss the next actions. Hugh was also available for follow up to support recovery plans. I cannot speak highly enough of Hugh and the SportsMed service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I saw Dr Monica Zheng about my hip pain she was extremely nice and very thorough and took the time to explain everything to me. She has organised a scan and some anti inflammatories then a plan from there. I was so impressed. My friend has also seen her and said exactly the same. Thank you so much. Sports mec Subiaco is fantastic and I’ve been coming here for years.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was having the worst day and I accidentally showed up a week early to this appointment and Dr. Rzepecki was just leaving for the evening but he insisted on fitting me in. It’s clear that he loves his job and takes extra care, and the receptionists were also lovely. The experience really cheered me up.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bec Forster is an outstanding physiotherapist. I came to Bec after sustaining an MCL knee injury overseas, having lost a lot of muscle tone, become deconditioned, been unsteady on my left leg, and unable to run. She immediately put an impeccable care plan in place, including MRI and sports physician referrals, and a parallel rehab program while we sought surgical opinion for my knee. Within six weeks of her tailored, targeted rehab my injured knee, both legs and my upper body, and my overall fitness were visibly and functionally transformed — I’m now running again and have rebuilt muscles and noticeably stronger. She applies evidence-based exercises tailored to both my clinical and personal goals. Sessions are challenging and a lot of fun; she is always attentive and quick to adapt exercises depending on how I’m feeling physically that day. She’s caring but pushes me to exceed my own expectations. The occasional knee pain I had before rehab has now subsided. Nothing is ever out of reach with her support, including an after-rehab exercise program I can continue independently — she exceeds every expectation, every time. I am so grateful for Bec’s excellent care and skills. Professional, highly experienced and intelligent, high-energy, and results-driven — she’s the best and highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Tahnee Bell is a credit to herself & to the clinic 😊 Her knowledge & demeanour are second to none, a comprehensive explanation of my knee issues (post ACL recon & meniscectomy) as well as a cortisone injection have helped me back on track in my powerlifting training. There’s never any pressure to rebook, but you always feel welcome to revisit when necessary. A genuine thank you 🌟
