Current Research
Current research shows encouraging results concerning the management of chronic back pain with core stability exercises and the success of programmes such as those proposed by Western Australian researchers with significant reputation in the research of lower back pain.
Postural Stabilisers
Based on these research principles, this class educates you on the role of postural stabilisers and aims to strengthen muscles in various positions, under the careful instruction of a trained physiotherapist to avoid causing further injury. We also use mat and ball-based exercises, so participants are able to continue doing the exercises at home. The class is suitable for clients with chronic back and neck pain, post-back surgery, hypermobility, chronic stiffness and poor posture.
Tailored Programmes
We provide individual tailored core stability and strength training programmes to be carried out under the close supervision of a physiotherapist. It is suitable for all ages and fitness levels who want to achieve specific fitness goals.
