Client Evaluation

From your initial visit we provide you with a personalised assessment and place you in one of our rehabilitation or body conditioning programs.  Our full range of services include:

  • The Pilates Method implements: alignment, injury prevention, correct breathing, simultaneous stretching and strengthening, harmony between mind and muscle. It is completely non-impact and muscles are never worked to exhaustion. It maintains that magic balance between strength and flexibility, balancing agonist and antagonist forces in the joint
  • Most exercise sessions begin with movements that facilitate the integration of abdominal control and spine articulation with breathing
  • Movement dynamics are in accord with current sports research and practice. We utilise current physiological, kinematics and biomechanical principles of exercise
  • Pilates provides an environment that facilitates correct hip, knee, foot, and ankle tracking
  • The exercises  increase flexibility at the same time that they build strength
  • It is low impact, so a client can recondition from injury in a  non-abusive way
  • The apparatus use resistance springs to strengthen and stretch various muscle groups, allowing for both concentric and eccentric muscle contractions
  • It has a range of resistance that can challenge any body
  • This Method is insightful in that it reveals structural weaknesses in the body very quickly
  • Pilates also suits aging bodies because, without stressing joints, it enhances flexibility, circulation, and muscle mass which in turn fights osteoporosis
