REHAB PILATES

What is Rehabilitation Pilates?

 

At Perfect Balance Rehabilitation Centre our physiotherapists are Rehabilitation Pilates instructors and believe that Pilates can be a magnificent tool to promote agility, strength and posture. Rehabilitation Pilates can be used to address muscle imbalances, decreased movement and flexibility, poor posture, poor movement patterns, and repetitive overload.

Physiotherapists often use Rehabilitation Pilates as part of the treatment.

​

Prenatal Pilates

 

Prenatal pilates takes into consideration your trimester, presentation and your area of weakness. Our Pilates trained physiotherapist, will address general body conditioning, core strengthening with an emphasis on the smaller stabilising muscles so that your pelvis muscles are strong and support your bump well. 

 

Postnatal Pilates 

 

Postpartum our pilates sessions aim to bridge the gap between delivery and full return to exercise, whether it is getting back to your favorite gym, running, cross fit or jumping on the trampoline. Get your abdominal strength back and retrain your pelvic floor, posture and build the right muscle balance and strength to do what you love to do. 

 

Rehabilitation Pilates

​

During a rehabilitation pilates session, you basically will do what is often overlooked at the gym: work your prime stabiliser muscles to help prevent injury, aches and pains. Back pain is a regular ache we address with strengthening the core, as well as smaller muscle groups of the shoulder, hips and the back. Come complement your workouts or help your injury recovery.
