    • Clinical Pelvic Health Pilates

     

     

    Clinical Pilates is the cornerstone of our approach to promoting Pelvic Health Pilates. Women will experience client-centered therapy from expert practitioners and a personalized journey designed to enhance their overall well-being. Empowering women to maintain a strong well-functioning body.

    Upon entering our studio, clients embark on a unique path to wellness, starting with an initial Pelvic Health Physio assessment during what we call the "Preparation for Pilates session." During this session, the client's specific issues and goals are carefully understood, setting the stage for a tailored approach.

    We pride ourselves on a comprehensive evaluation of every aspect of our clients' movement. Using mirrors, we meticulously observe sitting, sit-to-stand, and standing postures, with a keen focus on the recruitment of the pelvic floor, deep lower back, abdominal cylinder, scapula, and lower limb muscles. This in-depth analysis helps us understand how the deep abdominal cylinder stabilizing muscles of the pelvis and spine are functioning.

    Our Pelvic Health Pilates assessment is a vital component of our approach. We pay special attention to the recruitment of pelvic floor muscles and abdominal cylinder muscles to ensure they are optimally engaged, supporting the spine, pelvis, and pelvic organs. This support extends to the continence mechanism, promoting pelvic health.

    Our approach is firmly rooted in Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT), a revolutionary method backed by the latest 2023 research from The Lancet. This groundbreaking research underscores the effectiveness of CFT in addressing chronic low back pain through a highly personalized approach. CFT delves into and addresses the unhealthy pain-related thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that can exacerbate pain and disability.

    At Innovative Physio/Pilates, we provide a client-centered experience that empowers women to achieve optimal pelvic health, overcome musculoskeletal issues, and enhance their overall quality of life. Join us on this transformative journey towards improved well-being.
