Pilates is an adjunct to physiotherapy and is commonly used to treat acute and chronic spinal (back and neck), shoulder, hip, knee and ankle injuries, sporting injuries, workplace injuries and post surgical patients to assist your pain free return to your previous level of function. In addition, Pilates is a safe exercise regime for women pre and post pregnancy performed to alleviate back pain, maintain muscle strength and regain muscle control post pregnancy.
