Rehabilitation
We believe that Pilates is an integral part of the rehabilitation process. We have developed a unique system to help you not only recover from your injury but bring you back to an optimum state of fitness where you are fitter and stronger then before your injury.
Stage one - initial rehabilitation with physiotherapy
Physiotherapists use manual physiotherapy treatments such as joint mobilisation, soft tissue massage, electrotherapy, home exercise programs to aid rehabilitation and an introduction to Pilates exercises on equipment (called Physio-Pilates). This is for clients with an acute injury or who are referred by a doctor, surgeon, or other healthcare professional.
Stage two - rehabilitation and conditioning with Physio-Pilates
Physiotherapists use a combination of traditional physiotherapy treatments listed in stage one along with Pilates exercises to improve your strength and flexibility so you can stay pain free. Physiotherapists identify poor movement strategies and muscle imbalances and work closely with clients on their specific needs. High priority is educating our clients on how to move well and modify their exercise to suit their abilities.
Stage three - fitness conditioning and strength building with Pilates
When you become pain free and have reached an optimum state of health you can move on to either Pilates group classes or private sessions. This will ensure you maintain and improve your strength, flexibility and posture in a safe environment. Our Pilates instructors are highly qualified and are educated in teaching clients with prior injuries. Modification can be made to exercises to ensure people of all levels can benefit from Pilates.
