WHY USE A PHYSIOTHERAPIST?
A physiotherapist structured movement rehabilitation program ensures a therapeutic movement based treatment in which all exercises are individually tailored. Poorly recruited or weakened muscle groups are strengthened and shortened or stiff muscle groups and joints are mobilised. The movements and exercises are designed to be safe for the individual’s presentation and promote recovery and performance.
A thorough subjective history of injury/s, sports, trauma, repetitive loading, work postures, pain presentation, limited joint mobility and importantly client’s goals and expectations are taken into account when structuring a therapeutic program to suit your specific needs. This ensures not only optimal outcomes are achieved but the entire pilates intervention is an enjoyable experience.
Various pieces of clinical equipment are used to provide effective feedback to your body which can greatly increase your ability to recruit the correct muscles and hence creates a highly efficient form of exercise and injury rehabilitation.
