Group therapeutic Pilates session with targeted exercises at the practice in Vibo Valentia

Therapeutic Pilates

Therapeutic Pilates, offered at the practice in Vena Superiore (Vibo Valentia), combines breath control and movement to improve stability and strength. Unlike classic Pilates, it isn’t simply exercise: it’s an active rehabilitation programme, built around your specific needs. Through targeted, supervised exercises, the aim is to correct postural imbalances, relieve muscle tension and strengthen the deep muscles that support the spine.

Who it’s for

  • Postural pain and back pain: for those looking for controlled movement that relieves tension rather than aggravating it.
  • Recovery after an injury: to return gradually to activity with safe, pain-free movement.
  • Core weakness: for those who want to build stability and strength starting from the deep musculature.
  • Prevention: for those who want to protect the back and joints by improving body control and awareness.

How it works

  1. Initial assessment: a consultation and movement observation to identify imbalances, pain or functional limitations.
  2. Personalised programme: a sequence of exercises tailored to your condition, training the breath, control of the deep muscles and the quality of movement.
  3. Progression and follow-up: a gradual increase in intensity, with periodic checks to consolidate the results and bring you back to your daily activities with greater agility and confidence.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is the difference between therapeutic Pilates and classic Pilates?

    Classic Pilates is a generic group workout. Therapeutic Pilates is a tailored rehabilitation programme, guided by a physiotherapist, with exercises targeted to your condition to correct imbalances and strengthen the deep muscles safely.

  • Is therapeutic Pilates suitable for back pain?

    Yes. By strengthening the core and the deep muscles that support the spine, it helps ease lower-back tension and prevent its return, with controlled movement that does not overload the back.

  • Can I do therapeutic Pilates after an injury?

    Yes, it is often used precisely for gradual recovery after an injury. The exercises are calibrated to your stage of healing, so you can return to activity with safe, pain-free movements.

  • Do I need Pilates experience to start?

    No. The programme starts with a movement assessment and adapts to your level. Every exercise is explained and supervised, so it is suitable even if you have never practised before.

  • How many times a week is recommended?

    Generally one or two sessions a week are enough to build stability and strength progressively. The ideal frequency is defined together after the initial assessment.
