25.01.2022 At Penrith Physio, we promote Pilates as a great way to get you moving pain free again! . Pilates aims to get you controlling movements specific to everyday activity to make sure you are strong and confident to do them after injury . This is an example of an exercise where we are working to control forward bending from the muscles in your hips... . It is the culture of Penrith Physio to practice what you preach so our physio, Sarah, is here to demonstrate. See more

It’s a great way to improve whole body control and mobility by strengthening your deep abdominals and spinal stabilisers Check out this move as Emily puts her hamstrings mobility and abdominal strength to the test! #pilates #pilatesreformer #pilateslovers

20.01.2022 Back and neck injuries need back and neck exercises right? WRONG! This is not always the case. What is more important is that you train the right "pattern" of movements or muscle activation to better support your spine. The type of pattern you need to activate can be determined and addressed using DMA Clinical Pilates. Everyone is different and will benefit from very different activation patterns. Thats why we get some people to bend, some people to straighten and others t...o rotate. DMA Clinical Pilates is quite simply the best option for getting your muscle patterns on point! We use detailed assessment techniques to find EXACTLY the right exercises you need to do to improve control, flexibility, strength and prevent injuries. To the untrained eye - Clinical Pilates can sometimes appear counter-intuitive for the following reasons: -You might be asked to only train ONE SIDE of your body -You might be asked to only flex and not extend (and vice versa) -It is supposed to feel easy and natural for your body because we choose exercises that suit your body and the way you move! HOW CAN I TRY OUT CLINICAL PILATES? Book a 1 hour Initial Clinical Pilates Assessment with one of our DMA Clinical Pilates trained physiotherapists. They will find your "movement preference/bias" and put together your perfect pilates program. You can then commence your 6 session pass, joining a group of 4 participants led closely by your DMA Clinical Pilates Instructor.

09.01.2022 Is your lower back pain coming from tight hip flexors? . This is a common occurrence, especially in individuals who do a lot of heavy lifting or sprinting. . The hip flexors connect both to your spine and to your pelvis so if they are tight, they will pull on those areas which changes movement patterns leading to injury.... . The tightness is usually due to weakness or fatigue of the muscle group. The hip flexors need to do a lot of work to ensure you can squat or sprint powerfully and effectively! If you are someone who does a lot of sitting during the day, this can add to the tightness as the muscles will adaptively shorten due to being in one position for too long. . If you think this fits your back pain then try this stretch 3-4 times a day, holding for 1 minute at a time . 1 Couch Stretch - When completing, make sure you are pushing your hip forward instead of arching your back into the stretch. You should feel it down the front of your thigh . Follow the page if you enjoy content like this and want regular updates which will help you and your training. See more

07.01.2022 Can you guess from the X-rays which person has BACK PAIN?? The answer: Neither! Both! Left! Right! WHO KNOWS?!... Despite what many may tell you - X-rays, MRIs and CT Scans are unable to tell us what is causing someones pain. In fact numerous studies have shown that many people who are WITHOUT SYMPTOMS show signs of Disc Degeneration, Disc Bulge, Disk Protrusion or Annular Fissure. While some people WITH SYMPTOMS wont show any changes on the scans at all! WHAT THIS MEANS FOR TREATMENT We treat back pain by identifying areas for improvement in movement patterns, strength, work habits, posture and flexibility. What the research HAS shown is that MOVEMENT MATTERS. With exercise, physiotherapy and rehabilitation you can get great results with your back pain no matter what the underlying cause.

07.01.2022 HOW TO become less UNCO and why being more CO could be a good thing! While some people do appear to be blessed with more coordination, it is clear in our experience that unconess can be trained and improved with exercise. All it takes is a gradual introduction of complexity to your exercise program. If you are a self confessed uncoordinated human - we have great news - Clinical Pilates is the PERFECT way to slowly introduce complexity in a supportive, no judgement spa...ce! DMA Clinical Pilates is quite simply the best option for connecting with your movement patterns and becoming more coordinated! Improving coordination can help with injury reduction, self confidence and improve your relationship with exercise. To the untrained eye - Clinical Pilates can sometimes appear counter-intuitive for the following reasons: -You might be asked to only train ONE SIDE of your body -You might be asked to only flex and not extend (and vice versa) -It is supposed to feel easy and natural for your body because we choose exercises that suit your body and the way you move! HOW CAN I TRY OUT CLINICAL PILATES? Book a 1 hour Initial Clinical Pilates Assessment with one of our DMA Clinical Pilates trained physiotherapists.
