How Physiotherapy Helps
Physiotherapy is extremely effective for soft tissue strains and tears including muscle and joint-related injuries. It is also very effective when there is a pinched or irritated nerve. Problems may have been caused by high-velocity sporting injuries, overstrains, repeated or postural overload type injuries, arthritis, biomechanical related problems, or pre/post-surgical related problems. A physiotherapist’s ability to diagnose the pathology and relate it to the mechanism of injury is one of the most significant advantages our physiotherapists offer. Physiotherapists treat an extensive list of injuries. Our experienced physiotherapist will be able to quickly identify the most effective treatment plan for you.
If you do not want to be frail when you're old, pilates can help keep that flexibility, regardless of what age you are.
Of course, you need not necessarily buy into the more spiritual aspect of the training, but it's a fantastic way to support any physio you're undergoing for whatever reason.
One of the key aspects to Pilates physiotherapy is that you never push your joints further than the ligaments should, thus it's an entirely risk free form of exercise.
You will find, if you do any length of Point Cook Physio Pilates, that you will build the centre of your body into a powerhouse of well-balanced muscles.
