Who this training is suitable for
Physiotherapeutic Pilates training is suitable for:
- People with restricted mobility: Training is ideal for people who have difficulties with their mobility due to injury, illness or other restrictions. Targeted exercises can improve mobility and increase resilience.
- Seniors: Older people benefit from gentle mobilization and strengthening exercises that relieve pressure on the joints and strengthen the muscles. This helps to improve mobility and prevent falls.
- Athletes: Athletically active people who want to develop their flexibility, body control and stability can improve their performance and prevent injuries with Pilates exercises.
- People in rehabilitation: People recovering from an injury or operation can rebuild their muscles and gradually regain their mobility by taking part in this training. The training promotes regeneration and supports the healing process.
- People who want to improve their general fitness: Even people without specific complaints can benefit from this training as it increases general fitness, strengthens the core and trains body awareness.
Topics and exercises
The mobilization and stabilization training includes a variety of targeted exercises and topics that are tailored to the needs of the participants:
- Mobilization techniques: These exercises focus on improving mobility in the joints. They include passive and active movements specifically designed for the hips, knees and ankles. The aim is to increase the range of movement and loosen stiff joints.
- Strengthening exercises: The focus is on strengthening the muscles, especially the leg, core and hip muscles. This includes exercises such as squats, lunges and calf raises. The exercises promote joint stability and reduce the risk of injury in everyday life or during sport.
- Coordination and balance training: Here, the interaction between muscles and nerves is specifically trained to improve balance and sharpen body awareness. Typical exercises include standing on one leg, exercises on unstable surfaces such as balance boards or training proprioceptive skills.
- Functional movements: These exercises mimic everyday movements such as walking, climbing stairs and squatting. They help participants to improve their mobility in everyday life and act more confidently.
- Stretching exercises: Targeted stretching, especially of the thigh, hip and calf muscles, increases flexibility and relieves muscle tension. These exercises promote mobility and prevent injuries.
- Relaxation techniques: Each session ends with a relaxation phase in which gentle stretching and breathing exercises calm the body and lower the heart rate. This helps to process the training effect and promote stress reduction.
Course objectives
Group training improves mobility, strengthens the muscles and relieves chronic pain. It promotes coordination and balance, which particularly helps to prevent falls.

Group training pursues several goals in order to improve the health and well-being of the participants:
- Improving mobility: Regular mobilization exercises increase flexibility, reduce joint stiffness and improve freedom of movement in everyday life and sport. This is particularly important for people who suffer from restricted mobility or joint problems.
- Strengthening the muscles: Targeted strengthening exercises help to strengthen the muscles of the lower extremities and trunk. Well-developed muscles provide stability for the joints and protect against injuries. This is particularly beneficial for older people or rehabilitation patients.
- Pain relief: Many of the exercises are designed to relieve chronic pain, particularly in the lower extremities, back and hips. Strengthening the muscles and improving joint function help to reduce pain in the long term.
- Coordination and balance: Training improves balance, which helps to prevent falls, especially in older people. The ability to keep your own body stable in different positions is crucial for an independent and safe life.
- Functional performance enhancement: The integration of functional exercises that replicate everyday movement sequences improves general performance in everyday life. Participants can perform everyday tasks such as walking, climbing stairs and lifting more safely and efficiently.
- Relaxation and stress reduction: The combination of movement, stretching and conscious breathing ensures relaxation and promotes general well-being. Participants benefit from improved regeneration and a reduction in stress and tension.
Preparation for a physiotherapy class
- Health assessment: Not mandatory, but recommended for chronic pain or injuries to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the training.
- Suitable sportswear: Comfortable, functional clothing that offers freedom of movement is essential. The clothing should be breathable and allow participants to move without restriction.
- Yoga mat and towel: It can be helpful to bring your own yoga mat and towel to ensure comfort and hygiene during the workout, especially for floor exercises.
- Water and small equipment: A bottle of water is important to stay hydrated during exercise. If necessary, small equipment such as hand weights or resistance bands can also be brought along, depending on the requirements of the specific class.
- Positive attitude: It is advisable to go into training with an open and motivated attitude. Physiotherapy classes are designed to promote health and achieve individual progress, which is supported by regular attendance and a positive attitude.
- Understanding your own limits: It is important to know your own physical limits and to respect them during the class. In the event of pain or discomfort, the trainer should be informed so that the exercises can be adjusted accordingly.
