The Confident Body Show

#45: Why clinical Pilates OR strength training on their own isn't enough (and what actually works)


Listen Later

This week on The Confident Body Show, Michael Dermansky is joined by one of MD Health's physiotherapists, Will Ryan, to explore why clinical Pilates and strength training aren't opposing approaches, but powerful partners when it comes to performance, injury prevention, and long-term health.

The conversation dives into the often-overlooked benefits of strength training as we age, including improvements in bone density, muscle mass, and overall resilience. They discuss why strength training can be safely introduced at any age, and how personalised programs consistently outperform generic group classes.

Through real-world examples, Michael and Will highlight how combining clinical Pilates with targeted strength training leads to better outcomes, from improved confidence and performance to long-term health and longevity.
