Kew East, VIC – June 4, 2026 – MD Health reveals there’s growing demand for structured Clinical Pilates programs, as more Australians seek personalised pathways to recover from sports injuries, rebuild strength and reduce the risk of re-injury.
The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reported that about 62,100 sports injuries led to hospital admission in Australia in 2023-24. Additionally, AusPlay reported that about 18.4 million Australians aged 15 and over participated in sport or physical activity at least once during the year.
MD Health says this environment is driving more athletes, weekend players and active adults to seek clinician-guided rehabilitation that goes beyond generic exercise classes. Pilates can support rehabilitation outcomes, including improvements in pain and disability. Clinical Pilates is also proven safe and facilitates faster functional recovery in early-stage rehabilitation.
“Sports injury rehabilitation is no longer just about resting, waiting and returning to play when the pain settles,” said Michael Dermansky, Managing Director and Senior Physiotherapist at MD Health. “The stronger approach is to understand why the injury happened, identify the weak links in movement and strength, and then build a tailored program that helps the person return with better control, confidence and capacity. That is where Clinical Pilates can be highly valuable.”
At MD Health, physiotherapist-led Pilates is delivered as part of a broader clinical exercise model combining assessment, hands-on treatment and a personalised exercise program. Their treatment programs begin by strengthening stabilising muscle groups, improving control around joints and applying appropriate staged loading to minimise the risk of further injury.
The clinic offers “The MD Health Way” treatment approach built around three key stages:
Part 1: Full Body Assessment
A thorough head-to-toe assessment is performed by a qualified physiotherapist, osteopath or accredited exercise physiologist to create an individualised treatment plan.
Part 2: Clinical Exercise, Clinical Pilates and Treatment
Clients receive a combination of hands-on treatment and a personalised exercise program designed to reduce pain and support their goals. Treatment plans are revised regularly to help achieve the best possible outcomes.
Part 3: Tailored Strength and Fitness
This extension of MD Health’s Clinical Pilates program is designed to take clients to the next level and help them achieve physical goals they may not have thought possible.
“The MD Health way” is a proprietary method developed by experienced health professionals with more than 20 years of experience. Supported by ongoing professional development and personally developed software, the method focuses on working specifically toward each client’s goals.
“The demand for clinical Pilates for sports injury rehabilitation is rising because people want more than a one-size-fits-all class,” Dermansky said. “They want a clear plan, regular reassessment and professional guidance on when to progress. Our goal is to help clients move from pain and uncertainty to stronger, more capable movement, whether that means returning to running, tennis, football, cycling or everyday fitness.”
MD Health also offers physiotherapy and exercise physiology consultations. They offer a full body assessment at no cost for:
• New clients, or
• Returning clients who have not attended for six months or longer and participating in the “13 Week Clinical Pilates Program”.
