How can it help you?
Through the understanding of your injury, and by examining how your body moves, Our physio will show you how to improve your function, and at times obtain immediate relief from aches and pains. We then aim to develop a strengthening program, using movements that improve your function, to activate your stabilising muscles and work on your problem areas..
You will find this to be quite a different approach than you would get from a Pilates class at a gym or in a group setting. This is because everyone’s body responds differently to the same exercises. Your body, even without injury, may be better when supported in particular positions by your muscles and conversely, be far worse in other positions. This is even more important if you suffer any pain, stiffness, ache, soreness, tingling, or weakness. So, rather than a general program, our focus as your physio will be to identify more individual exercises that are especially designed for YOUR BODY!.
The physiotherapists at Alliance Physio Solutions teach Clinical Pilates and show you which of the stabilising muscles you should be using. You will be taught how to activate these muscles with simple exercises, and then progress onto much harder ones as you improve. We use exercises on the floor, reformers and trapeze table to help you obtain an optimum workout while at the clinic, as well as providing you with exercises to practice at home. We are always happy to tailor a particular program for you, and often Clinical Pilates will provide the answers to problems that other forms of treatment have failed to fix.
