Clinical Pilates
DMA Clinical Pilates is a movement-based classification and treatment system specifically designed as a physiotherapy tool. It enhances spinal stability, core strength, and motor control to effectively manage chronic pain and functional limitations.
What is DMA Clinical Pilates?
DMA (Dynamic Movement Assessment) Clinical Pilates is a specialized form of Pilates developed as a physiotherapy treatment tool. Unlike regular Pilates classes, DMA Clinical Pilates is prescribed and supervised by a qualified physiotherapist who tailors each exercise to your specific condition and needs. It emphasizes motor control – the ability of your nervous system to coordinate muscle activation for efficient, pain-free movement. Strong research-based evidence supports its effectiveness in managing chronic pain and improving functional limitations. At Complete PhysioCure, we use reformer machines and mat-based exercises to improve your spinal and core stability while retraining proper movement patterns.
