Injury Rehabilitation & Prehab
Pilates is a highly effective modality for supporting recovery post-injury and reducing the risk of future injury. Our approach places strong emphasis on activating and strengthening the musculature surrounding the pelvis, enhancing hip and knee stability—essential for clients recovering from lower limb injuries or surgeries. For shoulder rehabilitation, we assess the function of the shoulder complex, identifying compensatory movement patterns that may have developed post-injury. We provide precise postural cues to correct dysfunction before progressing to loaded movement, helping optimise recovery and prevent re-injury. Our sessions incorporate mobility and flexibility training to improve range of motion (ROM) and facilitate overall function. We frequently collaborate with physiotherapists, chiropractors, and osteopaths to ensure your Pilates programme aligns with your ongoing rehabilitation plan.
Strength & Conditioning
Pilates is being used more and more by professional sports teams as part of their training programme. Pilates offers a wide range of functional exercises that challenge the body with exercises being performed against resistance and on an unstable base. This challenges balance, strength, flexibility and control through the whole body. We work on scapulo-thoracic stabilisation for the shoulder, lumbo-pelvic control for the lower back in addition to the retraining of the deep neck flexors to stabilise the cervical spine. The repertoire of Pilates exercises also include exercises to improve spinal mobility, flexibility of the key trunk and lower limb muscles groups, body awareness and postural awareness. It is a full body conditioning exercise programme that focuses on functional movement to help you in your everyday sporting or lifestyle needs.
Women's Health
Pilates has a focus on the muscle slings that work across the pelvis, a weakness in any of these slings can create dysfunction and result in poor performance and/or injury. The pelvic floor muscle is an importance component within this and an under active or over active muscle can put further pressure on the body and affect pelvic floor function and back pain. Pilates can be an effective body conditioning programme to help with mild pelvic floor issues and lower back pain. We have high ethical standards and will always refer clients to a women's health physio where appropriate prior to commencing this class.
