Pilates Designed Around Your Needs
Pilates uses controlled exercises to develop strength, flexibility, balance and coordination. At The Physio Centre, your sessions can be tailored to rehabilitation, musculoskeletal problems or general fitness and suited to your abilities and goals.
What’s the Difference Between Clinical Pilates and Pilates?
Clinical Pilates is guided by a physiotherapist and used for injury recovery, pain management or specific rehabilitation goals. Exercises can be broken into smaller steps, adapted to your abilities and progressed as you improve.
General Pilates focuses more broadly on strength, mobility, stability and fitness, without the need for an individual rehabilitation program.
Both can be valuable, depending on your needs and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question about Pilates?
Whether you’re new to Pilates or already have some experience, here you’ll find answers to some of the questions we’re often asked.
Do I need an initial assessment before starting Clinical Pilates?
Yes. Your physiotherapist will assess your condition, injuries or limitations and goals before recommending appropriate exercises. They may also suggest regular Pilates if Clinical Pilates isn’t necessary.
How Is Clinical Pilates Used in Rehabilitation?
Clinical Pilates uses targeted exercises to work on specific joints or areas while allowing the rest of your body to keep moving, which can be useful when acute pain limits your movements. Exercises can then be progressed as your strength, mobility and recovery improve.
Are Clinical Pilates sessions one-on-one or in groups?
We offer both individual and small-group sessions. One-on-one Clinical Pilates provides more individual guidance, while small groups allow you to exercise under supervision alongside others.
Can I do Clinical Pilates if I’m not injured?
Yes. Clinical Pilates can target specific areas or goals when you prefer individual guidance. If you don’t require a rehabilitation-focused program, regular Pilates may be a better fit.
What is regular Pilates, and who is it suitable for?
Regular Pilates at our Dubai clinic offers controlled exercise for people wanting to become stronger, improve their flexibility and stay active. It suits different ages, abilities and fitness levels.
Do I need Pilates experience to join a class?
Not at all. You can start Pilates at our Dubai clinic even if you’ve never tried it before. We’ll introduce the fundamentals so you can learn at a comfortable pace and progress gradually.
Is regular Pilates suitable for men and women, athletes and non-athletes?
Yes. Pilates suits men and women across different fitness levels, with athletes using it alongside their training and recreational exercisers choosing it as an enjoyable way to stay active and improve their fitness.
