What is Pilates?

Pilates is a form of exercise used in rehabilitation, injury prevention and general well-being programs.

Many injuries are caused or made worse by poor posture and muscle imbalances. Pilates provides a way of restoring or maintaining good strength and flexibility in the muscles required for good posture and movement.

The key muscles used in pilates are your deep abdominals, pelvic floor and spinal stability muscles, which dynamically support your body through movement. Pilates exercises are designed to progressively challenge these muscles at different levels of ability. It not only addresses injuries to the low back but is also used in the rehab of neck, shoulder, pelvis, hip, knee and ankle injuries.

Who needs Pilates?

Pilates is for all levels of skill, and not only for those returning from injury but also for those wishing to:

prevent an injury occurring
improve or enhance their athletic performance
improve posture

How do I book?

The process is easy:

Call Reception on 9252 5770 to arrange your 30 minute consultation.
You will then meet you personal Pilates-trained Physiotherapist.
In your one-on-one session your history and goals will be discussed and your individual needs will be identified.
Once the most suitable class type is determined, we require a payment to secure your position in that class. This is necessary as places are very limited as the classes are small.
In the initial assessment session your 'core' muscles will be graded to determine the level of activation and strength. This includes your Pelvic Floor, The Transversus Abdominus and the Multifidus. Part of this assessment is done with the Real Time Ultrasound technology, allowing the physiotherapist to give precise feedback on the contraction of you 'core' muscles.
You will be provided with a Personalised Pilates Plan, recommending the level and type of session that is appropriate for you.
