Core Stregthening Programs: The ability to maintain an optimal position can reduce pain and improve function
Our Core Strengthening Programs are based on the Pilates Method, having a strong core allows the body to maintain an optimal neutral position against forces such as gravity, allowing free movement through space
Based on what level people are at, these programs can range from advanced movements to simple breathing exercises
Clinical Pilates combines controlled movement with physiotherapy expertise to improve strength, flexibility, balance and body awareness. At Functional Physio SA, our physiotherapist-led Clinical Pilates programs are tailored to help people recover from injury, manage pain and move with greater confidence.
