UPANDRUNNING’s Clinical Pilates is a modification by physiotherapists of traditional Pilates exercise techniques. The exercises are designed to train the body’s deep core muscles which provide stability, strength and control to the lower back, pelvic and hip joints, upper back, neck and shoulder regions.
USING THE LATEST EVIDENCE-BASED RESEARCH
The focus of our customized one-to-one Pilates emphasizes efficiency and sub-maximal muscle control with a precise sequence of muscle activations created for both rehabilitation purposes and to enhance sporting performance. The latest evidence-based research combined with a variety of floor-based exercises and spring-resisted equipment (reformers, trapeze table, combo chair) is used to alleviate pain, rehabilitate injuries, optimize postural alignment, strengthen weak muscles, and correct biomechanics. The exercises can be adapted to mimic different sporting actions and thus allow sport-specific conditioning to enhance performance.
Clinical Pilates is applicable to a wide variety of conditions including:
LOW BACK PAIN
RECURRENT SHOULDER PAIN OR INJURY
NECK AND UPPER BACK PAIN
LUMBO-PELVIC INSTABILITY
RECURRENT MUSCLE, TENDON OR JOINT INJURIES
HEADACHES
SPORTS SPECIFIC CONDITIONING AND PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT
