Eastern Sports and Spinal at Move for Better Health has a team of qualified and experienced Physiotherapists, who provide a range of Clinical and Pilates-based Exercise options. These include Physio Exercise Classes and Physio Movement Classes.
Our Physio Exercise Classes are ideal for those needing a more personalised approach to exercise.
These classes are run using Pilates machines and combine traditional Pilates exercises with more contemporary exercises to help you achieve your goals.
The machines used in these classes include Reformers, Trapeze Tables and Multichairs, as well as general matwork, ball, or resistance exercises. To attend our Exercise Classes, you will first need to attend an initial assessment, for a Physiotherapist to thoroughly assess you and prepare your personalised program, and then complete some individual exercise sessions to teach you how to use the machines and to do your exercises safely.
Equipment classes at Eastern Sports and Spinal Care involve individually focused exercise using specific Pilates equipment in addition to traditional gym equipment. The exercises make use of the equipment to challenge core control, strength, balance, flexibility and movement quality. The Pilates equipment can also be used for the rehabilitation of specific injuries such as before and after joint replacement, spinal surgery or post joint reconstruction surgery (hip, knee, ankle, or shoulder)
Pilates equipment uses spring -based mechanisms to initially assist the development of efficient movement patterns and later to challenge clients to maintain these patterns with more complex exercises and altered spring loads. Contrary to other exercise programs, progressing in Pilates equipment classes often involves reducing the spring load to make the equipment inherently less stable. This demands a higher level of dynamic control from the user to still perform the same exercise with the same quality movement pattern.
Our classes run for 45 minutes and have a maximum of 6 people in them. They are supervised by a physiotherapist trained in the Pilates method.
