Bodysmart uses qualified Physiotherapists to deliver Pilates Programs in your workplace - all we require is the use of a meeting room! 

A variety of people suffering from ailments affecting the muscles, joints and nerves will get benefits from practising Pilates. For Example, people suffering Chronic Low Back Pain often have weak pelvic floor and deep abdominal muscles. These muscles are responsible for controlling stability of the lumbar spine. For that reason, strengthening your core centre is imperative to relieve or prevent back pain.

Engaging the deep core muscles stabilises your centre (the area between your ribs and hips), thus allowing you to move effectively with stability. The Pilates Method also helps you be aware of the position of your body parts and correct alignment problems. Diaphragmatic breathing, (i.e. breathing into the back of the rib cage), is incorporated to exercises to improve your postural alignment. Not only do these methods strengthen the deep, stabilising muscles but also teaches the overactive muscles to relax and release your body. Therefore we are balancing out the use of the large powerful muscles with the deep, small core muscles.

Some general benefits of Physiotherapist Pilates include: 

  • the correction of poor mechanics that underlie injuries
  • improved posture and flexibility
  • firmer and flatter stomach muscles
  • improved core stabilisation
  • better control over breathing
  • less likelihood of injury
  • overall body toning 
  • safe injury management
