Pilates
Pilates is an exercise regime that focuses on training the body’s deep postural muscles, which in turn provides improved stability, strength and control to the spine, pelvis, upper limb and lower limbs.
Clinical Pilates
Clinical Pilates is different in that it combines these principles with up to date scientific research in physiotherapy. There is a strong emphasis on diagnosis and treatment of your injury and condition.
Nicole Staight and Tegan Butters both have post graduate training in Clinical Pilates. Following a thorough assessment Nicole or Tegan are able to tailor-make an individualized program for each client.
Clinical Pilates can benefit a range of conditions including low back pain, upper back and neck pain, sporting injuries, pre and post natal, post surgery – spinal, shoulder, knee, hip, fibromyalgia and postural conditions, improved muscle tone and flexibility. One particular group of people who benefit are people who suffer chronic recurring low back pain, who may have tried many different treatment interventions. This is a different but very effective form of exercise which can give long term benefits
You can participate in Clinical Pilates by individual sessions or progress to a group session. Group sessions involve 3-4 people. It incorporates the use of floor based exercises and use of specific spring resistance equipment such as the reformer and trapeze table.
Correct technique is essential, therefore close supervision is important to ensure program is carried out correctly. These sessions involve ongoing testing to ensure appropriate modifications and progressions are made.
Following group sessions there is an opportunity to continue with independent programs or home based exercises.
Clinical Pilates group sessions are held on Tuesday evenings, and Tuesday and Friday mornings. Individual sessions are available on Tuesdays to Saturdays. These are held at the Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy rooms at 3 Sapphire Coast Dr, Merimbula.
