15.01.2022 Upper backs can get stiff for a number of different reasons and cause problems around the shoulders and neck area. This week’s theme is upper body rotations. When trying to improve this area of the body, the more repetitions you’re able to do the better. Some of the movements can be awkward to begin with, but can slowly ease off as you become more flexible. Lay on your right side with your arms out in front of you and place an imaginary light on your chest. Raise your left ar...m up so it points to the ceiling, at this point, you’re moving the arm and upper-body at the same time. Continue moving your left arm backward and shine that imaginary light up to the ceiling. Return to the start. Repeat 2-3 x 10 repetitions before moving to the opposite side. #Pyrmont #Sydney #Physiofithealth #pilates #PilatesSydney #pilatesathome #pilatesinstructor #physiotherapist #physiotherapy #exercisefortheback #backpain #shoulderandneckstretch

15.01.2022 Sometimes an easy and simple stretch is all you need. Standing or sitting, place your hands at the back of your head and bring your elbows back, this should get you a stretch in the front of your shoulders. Ease off and repeat 5-6 times. Easy! ... #Pyrmont #Sydney #Physiofithealth #PilatesinthePark #pilates #PilatesSydney #pilatesathome #groupexercise #pilatesinstructor #physiotherapist #physiotherapy

13.01.2022 Hip flexor (muscles at the front of your hips) can get tight for a number of different reasons, including sitting down for a long time (at your desk, for example). If these muscles are tight then they can restrict the movement at the hips which can potentially cause aches and pains. In standing, get your right foot in front of you while the left Food is behind. Make sure the hips are facing forward. Tuck your tailbone underneath and push the hips forward. You should feel a st...retch sensation at the front of the left hip. Hold for 20 seconds and ease off by stepping the right foot back, swap over and stretch the other leg. #Pyrmont #Sydney #Physiofithealth #pilates #PilatesSydney #pilatesathome #groupexercise #pilatesinstructor #physiotherapist #physiotherapy #hipexercises #hippain #hips #hipstretches #stretchthehips

12.01.2022 This one is done only if your knees, hips and ankles are comfortable in a curled up position. Start in four-point kneeling. You're going to get your hips going back towards your heels and you're going to bring your elbows and arms really close into the body so you're curled up into a ball. You're going to place your right hand on the side of the head with the elbow out to the side. You're going to keep your left forearm on the floor and then as you're breathing out, you're trying to point your elbow and shoulder all the way up to the ceiling and then you're breathing in as you ease off. Repeat 5 or 6 times each side. #Pyrmont #Sydney #Physiofithealth #pilates #PilatesSydney #pilatesathome #groupexercise #pilatesinstructor #physiotherapist #physiotherapy #exercisefortheback #backpain #shoulderandneckstretch #upperback #stretchtheback

12.01.2022 Here's another hip flexor stretch to try out. Lay down flat on the mat, so you're on your back and the legs are out nice and straight. Hug your right knee to your chest and keep the left leg flat against the mat. Hold for 20 seconds then ease off and repeat on the other side. If the left leg or the knee starts to lift away from the mat then it is telling you that your hip flexors are on the tight side and you need to focus more on these stretches.... #Pyrmont #Sydney #Physiofithealth #pilates #PilatesSydney #pilatesathome #groupexercise #pilatesinstructor #physiotherapist #physiotherapy #hipexercises #hippain #hips #hipstretches #stretchthehips

11.01.2022 Here's another hip flexor stretch you can try out. This time, using a chair. Get a chair and place your right knee on the chair and step forward with your left leg. Check if you're facing forward, tuck the tailbone underneath and push your hips forward. You'll feel the stretch at the front of your hip and hold for 20 seconds. Ease off by stepping the left foot back and repeat on the other side. #Pyrmont #Sydney #Physiofithealth #pilates #PilatesSydney #pilatesathome #groupexercise #pilatesinstructor #physiotherapist #physiotherapy #hipexercises #hippain #hips #hipstretches #stretchthehips

10.01.2022 We're still talking about the upper body rotation exercises. The third one you can try out is in four-point kneeling. So you want your hips over your knees, your shoulders are over your hands. Keep the chin tucked in and you're looking down in between your hands and keep that head up so you want a nice long line from the head, neck and then upper back. Take your right hand, thread the needle through your left arm and leg. You're going to lower that right shoulder down to the... floor, reach your hands and fingers as far away from you as you can do and then you're breathing in as you return that right hand underneath the shoulder and then repeat on the left side. Do this 5 or 6 times on each side. #Pyrmont #Sydney #Physiofithealth #pilates #PilatesSydney #pilatesathome #groupexercise #pilatesinstructor #physiotherapist #physiotherapy #exercisefortheback #backpain #shoulderandneckstretch #upperback #stretchtheback

08.01.2022 Standing stretches can be great at working on both a stretch but also on your balance. Try this one - place your right leg foot on your left knee and slowly lower yourself down. You're looking for a stretch on the right glutes. Hold onto something for support if needed. Slowly raise yourself back up again, repeat 4 times before stretching the opposite side. #Pyrmont #Sydney #Physiofithealth #pilatesinthepark #pilates #PilatesSydney #pilatesathome #groupexercise #pilatesinstructor #physiotherapist #physiotherapy #stretch #balance

06.01.2022 This is the last exercise for you to try out to strengthen your neck muscles. You will need a stretchy band for this exercise. We're using a red band, which is one of the lighter resistance bands. Loop the band around your head and put it on a little bit of stretch. Push your head back against resistance, holding for 5 seconds beore easing off. Repeat 4-5 times.... #Pyrmont #Sydney #Physiofithealth #pilates #PilatesSydney #pilatesathome #groupexercise #pilatesinstructor #physiotherapist #physiotherapy #neckexercises #sittingallday #prolongedsitting #strengthenyourneck

06.01.2022 We had a great morning in the park today. Thanks to those who joined us, both in person and virtual. Sometimes it's a good idea just to lay down flat, no pillow, arms out and palms facing upwards. You can relax for 5 minutes, listen to music or meditate. We were focusing on belly-breathing in the park this morning. Try it out this week. #Pyrmont #Sydney #Physiofithealth #Pilatesinthepark #pilates #PilatesSydney #pilatesathome #groupexercise #pilatesinstructor #physiotherapist #physiotherapy

04.01.2022 We had another successful class in the park. Thanks to those who joined us, both in person and virtual. Our theme this week is building strength for the neck for you desk workers. Another simple exercise to do on a regular basis is the cobra, which helps maintain flexibility in the spine. Lay on your front, hands under your shoulders and raise your head and chest up with help from your arms. Remember to keep your chin tucked in. Lower back down and repeat 5-6 times. ...
