Physiotherapists are experts in the human body and its movement, which includes muscle and joint anatomy and physiology, therefore they have the expertise required to effectively prescribe Pilates for people with and without pain or injury.
Clinical Pilates includes an initial assessment where the physiotherapist takes into account the individuals injuries, pain, weak areas, tight areas, poor movement patterns and posture, then develops a programme to specifically target those individual areas of concern or to enhance their performance with a specific sport or skill. This makes Pilates perfect for rehabilitation after an injury or surgery, and specific enough to be effective.
Pilates with a physiotherapist improves core and spinal stability to help manage and prevent low back and neck pain, enhances postural control, body awareness, muscle and joint flexibility, helps to reduce the risk of pain or injury and strengthens and tones the muscles.
