In this blog, Alyssa explains why Clinical Pilates might be just the thing to boost your recovery.
The osteopaths at Fundamental Health use a variety of skilled hands-on manual therapy techniques to help acute (recent) and chronic (long-term) pain conditions. Alongside hands-on treatment, your osteopath will often discuss at-home management strategies and exercises to help bolster the treatment performed in the clinic and work towards better long-term outcomes.
But, where does Clinical Pilates fit in?
Clinical Pilates offers tailored exercise suited to your history and current pain presentation to bolster and further enforce the positive benefits received from hands-on osteopathic treatment.
Osteopathy and Clinical Pilates go hand-in-hand,
both taking an holistic whole-body, whole-person approach to treatment.
Alyssa and Lauren have further training in DMA Clinical Pilates, a form of Pilates that utilised the reformer and trapeze equipment to safely and effectively work on building endurance and capacity for a variety of conditions.
We have found that a combination of osteopathic treatment and Clinical Pilates may support better long-term outcomes compared to hands on manual-therapy alone, as well as being a sustainable long-term approach to managing complex chronic pain conditions.
If you are currently receiving osteopathic or physiotherapy treatment at the clinic, ask your clinician about how Clinical Pilates may be beneficial for you.
We look forward to seeing you in the studio soon.
