Clinical Pilates

Are you struggling with a sports injury or suffering from joint pain? Do you want to improve your quality of life and get back to doing the things you love? 

My clinical approach to rehabilitation and pain management is based on the Whole Person Framework (WPF) or biopsychosocial model which considers the full picture – after all, you’re a human with hopes, fears, goals and aspirations, not just a body part! 

My approach combines progressive Pilates mat work, modern exercise medicine and cutting edge nutrition to help you get back to doing the things you love!  

Client-centred care is key. We’ll work together create a rehabilitation plan that focuses solely on your needs and desired outcomes. With this approach, there’s so much scope for achieving success!

Initial consultation

Prior to your appointment, I’ll send you a consultation form. This will include questions about your health history and lifestyle and screen for any medical conditions.

 I’ll invite you to tell me your story. We’ll fully discuss all the factors relevant to your pain or injury and how they can influence your recovery. I’ll carry out a short movement assessment to find out what you can do right now, so wear comfortable clothing. We’ll then prioritise your goals and devise a plan of action to get you back to doing what’s important to you in an appropriate time frame.

 Your plan will include exercise, nutritional and lifestyle advice. You’ll be given a simple home exercise programme to get things going. But don’t expect a boring list of exercises!  You’ll receive a video with full instructions and demonstrations so you know exactly what to do. And you won’t just be left to get on with it!  There will be weekly check-ins via text or WhatsApp to keep you accountable!

 Follow up appointments

You can book a follow up appointment (typically 2-4 weeks later) to review your progress. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions and then you’ll do a clinical Pilates session under my expert supervision. Based on the outcome, you’ll get a revised programme.

 Collaboration

I’m happy to collaborate with any other health professionals involved in your care eg physiotherapist, personal trainer or massage therapist.
