Richmond Physiotherapy Clinic has a clinical Pilates studio / gym for delivery of rehabilitative physiotherapy treatment, exercise prescription and sport medicine care. Pilates is a mind-body method of conditioning invented over 80 years ago by the late Joseph H. Pilates. The original teachings have been modified and enhanced by current biomechanical principles.
We will help you to achieve the best outcome from your physical problem or injury. Our goal is to restore and maintain optimal physical function and mobility.
Pilates is a series of exercises that are performed in a way to increase core strength and stability, while also increasing circulation and flexibility.
Instructors are specifically trained to effectively modify the exercises for particular body types, postural issues and patient conditions.
Some of the benefits of pilates are:
> Improved posture & body awareness
> Increased core stability & strength
> Decreased pain, tension & stress
> Injury prevention
> Increased circulation & flexibility
> Longer & leaner muscles
> Improved neuro-muscular coordination
> Increased function and energy
> Enhanced athletic performance
Fees
If the physiotherapist managing your problem believes Pilates may be of benefit, it is often included in our normal treatment regime, thus charged as normal Physiotherapy rates. However, if you have a friend or partner who is also interested inthe benefits of Pilates, we can run one on one, or two on one classes. In this case, the price reduces per session for each individual.
Service
Clients are assessed to determine the most beneficial Rehabilitation program.
Modifications to specific Pilates exercises are made to ensure safety and effectiveness, specific to your condition.
You should attend at least 3 individual Rehabilitation Pilates Mat and reformer sessions to ensure knowledge and accurate implementation of the exercise.
Resistance bands, stability balls, and reformer beds are utilized to modify exercises and enhance benefits as appropriate.
How does it all work?
When back and joint pain occur, the core muscular system alters its activation pattern. This may result in poor joint position and lead to an increase in pain. The core stability muscles (Transversus Abdominus and Lumbar Multifidis) are responsible for supporting and spine and the surrounding joints.
The use of pressure biofeedback and specific exercises helps to isolate your core muscles and regain correct activation. This allows better movement and less pain.
