Physiotherapy Pilates
What is Physiotherapy Pilates?
Physiotherapy Pilates is a specialized form of Pilates designed to support rehabilitation, injury prevention, and overall physical well-being. Combining traditional Pilates principles with physiotherapy techniques, this service focuses on restoring movement, improving strength, and promoting better posture. Tailored to individual needs, Physiotherapy Pilates is ideal for those recovering from injuries, dealing with chronic pain, or seeking to improve mobility.
​
You will have an initial assessment with a certified physiotherapist who will then create a personalized treatment plan. Your subsequent appointments will be with a Pilates instructor who will guide you through exercises using controlled movements and equipment, such as the Reformer, to enhance flexibility, balance, and core strength. This approach not only helps with rehabilitation but also aids in correcting postural imbalances, improving muscle function, and preventing future injuries.

Is Physiotherapy Pilates for you?
Physiotherapy Pilates is commonly sought for a variety of reasons, particularly for rehabilitation and injury prevention. One of the most common reasons people turn to this approach is to recover from injuries, especially those related to the back, shoulders, and knees. Injuries like herniated discs, rotator cuff strains, or ligament sprains often benefit from the gentle, controlled movements of Pilates, which help restore strength, flexibility, and mobility.
Chronic pain conditions, such as lower back pain or osteoarthritis, are also frequently addressed through Physiotherapy Pilates, as it focuses on improving posture, aligning the spine, and strengthening the muscles around affected joints to alleviate discomfort. Postural issues, often caused by long hours of sitting at desks or poor ergonomics, are another common reason people seek out Pilates, as it helps correct misalignments and improve overall body posture.
Additionally, muscle imbalances, such as weak core muscles or tight hip flexors, are often addressed to prevent further injury and improve movement efficiency. This approach is also beneficial for pelvic floor rehabilitation, particularly after childbirth or surgery. Overall, Physiotherapy Pilates provides an effective method for treating and preventing a range of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions.
