Pilates Ferntree Gully

Pilates Class Near Ferntree Gully

Inspired by calisthenics, yoga, and ballet, Pilates is a series of exercises that can be used to strengthen your body’s muscles in a balanced way. By practicing it, you can reap the benefits of enhanced strength, flexibility, and balance. When you decide to take your first Pilates class at Physio Elements, you’re committing to an improved lifestyle that promotes better physical and emotional well-being.

Many people place Pilates and yoga into the same category. Given the similarities between the two, this is understandable. However, there are some notable distinctions. Yoga focuses on enhancing your body’s flexibility whereas Pilates emphasises muscle relaxation and strength through different series of movements. Yoga and pilates both include mat work (bodyweight movements), but Pilates also involves various exercise machines at times.

Are You Looking For An Exercise Therapy Class Near You?

Many people use Pilates as a way to increase their strength and physical fitness in clinical settings. The use of Pilates equipment and movement for the treatment of a specific injury or condition is slightly different than a traditional Pilates class though. An exercise therapy class at Physio Elements that focuses on Pilates tends to the entire body, rather than taking an injury-specific approach.

If you’re not sure which type of Pilates is best for your specific needs, speak to us today. If you aim to improve muscle strength in a certain area to alleviate pain, then you may want to opt for a certain exercise therapy class. If you don’t have any specific problem and simply wish to be stronger and more flexible, then classic Pilates might be the move for you.

How Often Should I Do Pilates?

Like most forms of exercise, it’s recommended that you practice Pilates at least three times a week to make noticeable progress. However, this number may be less if you have a serious injury that requires a less intense regimen. The nice thing is that Pilates never works your muscles to exhaustion, therefore the risk of injury is much lower than that of other exercise classes.

Keep in mind that whatever your fitness or injury rehabilitation goal is, Pilates requires mindfulness, patience, and focus. It isn’t meant to be highly intensive or fully exhausting. If possible, start with three sessions per week and considering moving up to four once you’ve established that it isn’t too strenuous.

What to Keep in Mind When Starting Pilates

When starting Pilates, it’s important to always keep your personal goal in mind from day one. There is a learning curve with all types of Pilates, and doing basic movements correctly is much more important than trying to progress as quickly as possible. Be patient with yourself, stay hydrated, and try not to compare yourself to others as you work towards your personal goal of a better, healthier lifestyle.

Pilates, among other forms of exercise therapy, can be a great way to change your life for the better. By booking your first class at Physio Elements today, you can set yourself on a path that will allow you to enjoy the benefits of having a stronger body with less day-to-day pain and tension. Listen to your body, breathe, and enjoy working towards a healthier you. Contact us today!
