SERVICES

Floor based Pilates classes

Expertise: Run by Physiotherapists Catherine Stephens, Cally O'Hara, and Bene Sloan.

Pre-natal Pilates classes and exercise classes for the over 60s are run our Physios too!

Individual care: We are able to modify exercises to cater for individual problems avoiding damaging movements. We provide the benefits of Pilates, while minimising the risk of exacerbating pre-existing injuries or injuries caused through poor understanding and incorrect practice.

Small classes: We ensure a sound understanding of the Pilates concept and specific stabilising muscle system in the first two classes which are either individual intensive half hour or have only 2-4 participants. We assess individual needs and areas of concern. Learning correctly reduces the risk of over loading areas like the lower back or neck.

We prescribe exercises for practice (that don't take up too much time) to ensure maximum benefit and improvement in each class.

Achievable and challenging: Participants then progress to the full group classes (maximum 9 participants). The exercises are designed to be achievable yet challenging to individuals at all levels and ages (9 - 90 years). Exercises are demonstrated as well as instructed clearly and continuously throughout the classes.

Rehabilitation: The Physiotherapists have experience with the treatment of chronic back, neck and shoulder pain and can modify the exercises to benefit those people who feel their ability to exercise is limited by pain.

Large classes prohibit the personal attention and level of expertise necessary for correct practice. Pilates focuses on precise combinations of muscular activation, breathing and movement. Adding the skills and knowledge of Physiotherapists and Pilates is a potent combination attested by the people who have attended our courses and find benefits in reduced pain and improved function.

Pelvic Floor Benefits: Our Female participants have reported improved pelvic floor control, which has improved self-esteem and lifestyle options i.e. tennis!

Some benefits include:

• Improved strength of stabilising muscles, namely: Abdominals, Pelvic Floor, Lower back, Buttock, Shoulder girdle (muscles that keep the shoulder back and down) and neck muscles. Participants find their body shape changes, with flatter abdomens a nice side effect!

• Improved flexibility throughout the body, particularly the spine and neural structures

• Better body awareness and co-ordination

• Relaxation: associated with deep breathing and focus

The Physiotherapy and Pilates we provide is evidence-based (supported by research to prove it works) and we keep up with the latest research and treatment techniques with ongoing education.
