“Modified Pilates is a form of dynamic stabilisation retraining. It helps to recondition the body from the central core (the low back and pelvic region). Modified Pilates helps to prevent the recurrence of, and treat a range of postural, musculoskeletal and neurological conditions.”
Conditions include lower back and neck pain, scoliosis, Previous spinal surgery, Pregnancy, Hyper- or hypomobility ect.
Physiotherapists have designed the modified Pilates repertoire specifically for use in the rehabilitation setting. Included are mat work exercises, which will be tailored depending on individual needs following an assessment. These are designed to promote core stability, flexibility, endurance, postural and body awareness and to correct muscle imbalances.”
