at The core of your recovery
Pilates
Pilates for Cancer Recovery
Pilates is about concentration, control and breathing. Pilates works the deep muscles in the body to create a strong center (core) and support your spine. Pilates fosters body awareness, improves posture and creates a strong connection to the core, while integrating breath work.
Our Pilates sessions are one to one with an expert Pilates instructor. Your initial session is guided by the outcomes of your physiotherapy assessment you have received prior. Our clinicians work closely together to ensure we set the right goals and create a suitable program for you. You will be guided in your progress as part of your long-term recovery plan.
FAQ's
Do I need an assessment first?
Every patient coming to our clinic will be assessed either by a physiotherapist, a massage therapist or an exercise therapist, depending on the type of appointment you require.
Most of the patients we see will firstly have a consultation with a physiotherapist before they progress to any form of exercise therapy. This will ensure that we can identify your strength, limitations and establish your goals.
If you only want to do Pilates at our clinic and don’t require any other service, your Pilates teacher will perform an assessment with you.
What if I am new to Pilates?
Whether you are new to Pilates, or have lost strength and confidence through your treatment, we will make sure we start you off at the right level. A physical assessment will reveal where you are at, and assist us to tailor the Pilates-based exercises to your needs. Your program will be adjusted as you are becoming stronger.
Do I get a plan for home practice?
Most definitely 😉
No one leaves our clinic without home work.
How often do I need to do Pilates?
As often as you can manage.
We aim to provide an enjoyable workout for everyone where you can feel the benefits of movement almost immediately. That way, you don’t feel like you need to do Pilates, but you want to do it.
