Looking to recover fully from an injury or prevent future issues? Pilates can be your key! We prioritise strengthening core muscles around the pelvis, vital for stability after hip/knee surgeries or injuries. We also identify and address tight muscles like hip flexors and glutes through targeted flexibility exercises.
For shoulder injuries, we focus on restoring efficient movement patterns. We pinpoint any compensatory movements caused by the injury and provide postural cues to address them before introducing further load. This approach promotes faster recovery and reduces the risk of future injuries.
Our experienced team seamlessly collaborates with healthcare professionals (physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths) to tailor your Pilates program and integrate it seamlessly with your existing rehab plan.
Benefits of Reformer Pilates for athletes:
Improved core strength and stability: The reformer machine provides added resistance and instability, which can help athletes strengthen their core muscles more effectively than traditional mat Pilates exercises. A strong core is essential for good posture, balance, and power, all of which are important for athletic performance.
Increased flexibility and mobility: Reformer Pilates exercises often incorporate dynamic stretches that can help improve an athlete's range of motion and flexibility. This can help to prevent injuries and improve athletic performance.
Enhanced balance and coordination: The unstable nature of the reformer machine can help athletes improve their balance and coordination. This is important for all athletes, but especially for those who participate in sports that require quick changes of direction or agility.
Reduced risk of injury: By improving core strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination, reformer Pilates can help athletes reduce their risk of injury.
Improved mental focus and concentration: The controlled and precise movements of reformer Pilates can help athletes improve their mental focus and concentration. This can be beneficial for both training and competition.
In addition to the benefits listed above, reformer Pilates can also help athletes to:
Recover from injuries: Reformer Pilates can be a safe and effective way for athletes to recover from injuries. The machine can be used to provide support and stability, while also challenging the muscles to regain strength and flexibility.
Improve their performance: By improving core strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, and mental focus, reformer Pilates can help athletes to improve their overall performance.
If you are an athlete looking to improve your fitness and performance, Reformer Pilates is a great option to consider.
