Reducing Pain, Restoring function

Pilates is a form of dynamic stabilisation retraining that conditions the body and thereby treats or prevents the occurrence or recurrence of a range of postural, musculo-skeletal and neurological conditions.  The increasing evidence for the use of Pilates in the treatment and prevention of a range of conditions is why Physiotherapists are such advocates of Pilates and are teaching it in ever increasing numbers.
Pilates is just as relevant for elite athletes as it is for those with medical conditions - and everyone in between.
Ÿ
It is for fitness, strengthening, rehabilitation and for fun!  
Ÿ
It is ideal for men and women of all ages and abilities.

We will have a class to suit you and ensure you are placed in the appropriate one.

 Modifies Pilates was designed by physiotherapists using research evidence surrounding spinal stabilisation and lumbo-pelvic stability. It has (as the name suggests) modified some of the traditional Pilates exercises (some of which could exacerbate back pain) to make them suitable for the general population and those with back/joint pain.  Research has shown that for those with low back pain who had no treatment there was an 80% recurrence of back pain in the first year. For those who had core stability training there was only a 30% recurrence in the first year.

Pilates is not regulated in any way and while most instructors are very competent at teaching the exercises, they cannot be expected to have the knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology and pathology that a physiotherapist has.

Whether you are doing Pilates for fitness, rehab or fun - doing it with a Physiotherapist will ensure you optimise you goals without jeopardising your health.
