Pilates

Northern Sports Physiotherapy offers a range of Pilates services that can be tailored to individual needs.

Pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on building the strength and endurance of our core postural muscles. It was developed in the 1920′s by Joseph Pilates, and traditionally uses mat-based exercises, as well as Pilates equipment to improve alignment and posture.

Current physiotherapy research into exercise and rehabilitation has further developed traditional Pilates exercises. At our centre, our physiotherapists can tailor your Pilates program to suit your body’s needs, incorporating elements of traditional Pilates and current rehabilitation exercises. This makes Pilates at our centre ideal for rehabilitation after injury and for injury prevention.

Initial Pilates sessions involve a thorough assessment with our physiotherapist in order to determine which exercises are appropriate to prescribe for your body. After initial one-on-one sessions, you will be able to progress to small group or mat classes.
