Physio Pilates Plus also offers a variety of other health and wellbeing services, including:

 

Sports massage involves a variety of techniques used to help relieve stress and tension - which builds up in the body’s soft tissue system - while preventing those niggling injuries.

 

Whether you’re an athlete, have a physically demanding lifestyle or postural stresses, a sports massage can help restore functional pain free movement.

 

Acupuncture is a Chinese treatment that has become popular within Western medicine and rehabilitation.

 

Sharp, thin needles (pain free when inserted) are used at specific points to adjust and alter the body's energy flow (Qi) along the meridian systems. We use acupuncture for pain relief and to encourage healing.

 

Antenatal. Growing a baby is a wonderful and exciting time! Unfortunately not all women have a smooth pregnancy journey. Some can experience pelvic girdle pain, sacro-illiac pain, symphysis pubis and lower back pain.

 

Physiotherapy can treat these conditions and help relieve pain, making pregnancy more comfortable and enjoyable. Antenatal pilates is an effective and safe way to stay fit, strengthen your pelvic floor and prepare your body for birth.

 

Postnatal. You’ve done it, congratulations! After childbirth some women experience diastasis recti, loss of pelvic floor recruitment and lower back pain, which physiotherapy and pilates can help address.

 

We can assess and teach you how to effectively recruit your pelvic floor and core in a safe way, helping you get back to your pre-baby body. As a mother of two Victoria understands the challenge of getting somewhere with a new arrival which is why we provide a mobile service allowing you and baby to be relaxed in your own home or to come along to our baby-friendly home studio.

 

Perimenopause and menopause. Providing support and advice to manage and navigate changing hormones, other symptoms, as well as treatment options available to empower you through perimenopause and menopause.

 

Physio Pilates Plus will also hold educational events for women experiencing perimenopause and menopause comprising a physio, nutritionist and GP.

 

Health resets. This consists of a six week programme that takes a holistic approach to general health, focusing on strength training, weight loss or gain, while teaching you how to take a whole person approach to reset your health and circadian rhythm (sleep, diet, exercise, hormones, mindfulness etc).

 

Girls in sport. Physio Pilates Plus is passionate about ensuring sport is open, available and accessible to all women and girls. Almost 1 in 3 girls drop out of sports during puberty often because they don’t feel they’re good enough or are not encouraged to keep playing.  

 

Educational sessions on girls in sport are targeted towards sports clubs, coaches and players with the aim of providing information on how hormones effect female performance, tools including period trackers, common female adolescent injuries and how to manage them.
