Clinical Pilates is a specialized system of exercises that combines the traditional pilates method with contemporary research on musculoskeletal dysfunction. It takes into account that each person's biomechanics and movement patterns are distinct. Since different sports and work activities require distinct skills and muscle activation, injury prevention and skill development need to be tailored to individual needs. Clinical Pilates typically involves individual or small group sessions guided by a physiotherapist, ensuring exercises are customized to address specific issues and goals.
