What is Pilates?
Clinical research has proven that poor control and endurance of postural muscles is associated with low back pain and movement dysfunction.
Physio-Pilates core training focuses on low level Type 1 endurance muscles of the deep abdominal region. Transversus Abdominous and deep back muscles like Multifidus are examples of these muscles, which are important in stabilising the spine during movement.
Sometimes when people are training stomach muscles they tend to brace everything, but correct training uses selective muscles to achieve dynamic balance between the shoulder and pelvic girdle.
Injuries can often upset this balance, so it is very important to work with your health professional when starting this program to ensure you are working safely and not aggravating any pathology.
Who can do it?
- Back pain or injuries? Weak Back?
Under the assessment of trained physiotherapists, pilates is a safe way for people with back injuries to exercise. The program is graded to be at your specific level and small groups allow for constant supervision.
- Shoulder and Neck Pain?
Physio – pilates will specifically train the rotator cuff muscles and stabilising muscles to reduce pain and increase strength and control through the neck, upper back and shoulders.
- Pre & Post Natal?
During and post pregnancy Physio-Pilates exercises are not only safe but will give new Mums and Mums To Be, increased strength and mobility to cope better with daily life demands.
- Chronic Fatigue
Graduated core strength training will assist in rebuilding function and give increased energy and stability.
- Chronic Groin/ Hip pain and Injuries?
Poor core strength and instability can result in overuse of groin musculature and Osteitis Pubis. This is particularly prevalent in sports involving kicking, or running and jumping on hard ground. Physio-Pilates can restore the correct balance in the muscles and joints in the pelic region, reducing pain and allowing you to keep active in your sport and recreation.
