Clinical Pilates
Class Instructor
Applied Clinical Group Practice

Description

This course is designed for Physiotherapists who wish to apply Clinical Pilates within small group settings, without compromising clinical reasoning or individualisation.

While Physiotherapists are traditionally trained for one-to-one intervention, this programme provides the skills required to safely and effectively manage group-based Clinical Pilates classes, maintaining a strong clinical perspective.

The course focuses on lesson planning, group organisation and instructional strategies, always grounded in physiotherapy assessment and ongoing individual correction.
