Not Just Pilates

Pilates at Lilyfield Physiotherapy integrates Pilates regimes and physiotherapy using up to date research to ensure you target the right muscle patterns with minimal effort. Overactive superficial muscle systems present barriers which prevent the deep abdominal, pelvic and spinal muscles from performing correctly.

Our aim with our "Pilates" exercise programme is to train your body's posture control strategy to make your body continue training even when it's not exercising. Good posture control is the key to safe, efficient and rewarding exercising for both strength and endurance.

Pilates is a non-aerobic exercise method consisting of specific muscle strengthening and toning along with flexibility work.

The programs are designed to strengthen your spine and your abdominal "corset" and to condition the rest of your body. Each individual program has a combination of exercises including floor (mat work), ball and specialized pilates equipment exercises.

Our "Pilates" exercise sessions are always directed and supervised by one of our experienced physiotherapists. People of any age and level of fitness with a variety of exercise goals can participate in our Pilates sessions.

Sessions can be:

• Individual - always recommended initially
• Small group - maximum of four to a group with one physiotherapist supervising and progressing individual programmes.
• Larger small group - maximum of eight to a group (see classes)
