At SportsMed Subiaco, we begin with a thorough clinical assessment to collect information on your past injury and medical history, any current issues and activity levels. Assessment of functional movements and specific tests are utilised to generate tailored exercises specific to your needs. This is followed by supervised sessions with your Physiotherapist known as semi-private tuition. During these sessions, you will use specialised Pilates equipment including reformers and trapeze tables as well as some mat-based exercises as part of your exercise regime. Thorough feedback and correction will be provided throughout to ensure correct technique and performance. There is often additional exercise advise during these sessions related to stretching, postural control, ergonomics and cardiovascular fitness.
Once you feel confident and competent with the use of the equipment and exercises, your Physiotherapist will then provide you with an individualised program that you will be able to perform independently within our studio. Your Physiotherapist will continue to monitor your performance of this program and modify your exercises as you advance towards your goals.
You are also able to participate in a small-group circuit class within our studio. The circuit class will run by one of our Physiotherapists who will continue to oversee your performance and make any adjustments where needed. Home or gym-based programs can also be developed specifically for you.
