Pilates for Neurological Conditions: Strengthening from the Core Out

Living with a neurological condition can bring unique challenges to your movement, balance, and everyday independence. In this free ARC Patient Webinar, Physiotherapist Olivia will share how the foundations of Pilates can support both your physical and mental wellbeing.

Research suggests that Pilates can help people with neurological conditions improve:

• Balance & coordination – reducing the risk of falls.
• Core strength & stability – vital for walking, standing, and daily independence.
• Flexibility & mobility – easing stiffness and supporting smoother movement.
• Mental wellbeing – through mindful movement, stress reduction, and improved confidence.

You’ll learn:

• How activating your deep core muscles supports everyday function.
• The benefits of Pilates for balance, posture, strength, and confidence.
• Practical tips and tricks to safely bring Pilates into your routine.
• Pilates is adaptable and can be tailored to all levels of function — including chair-based and mat-based exercises.

Whether you’re recovering from a stroke, living with Parkinson’s, MS, or another neurological condition, Pilates can be tailored to your needs and help you feel stronger, more stable, and more in control of your body.
