Clinical Pilates

Pilates is a unique form of exercise that is designed to target the whole body through focusing on alignment, core strength and breathing. It engages all parts of the body, particularly the arms, legs, abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. Improved posture is achieved through strengthening and stretching certain muscle groups, which can reduce muscles and joint pain.

We offer clinical pilates in small groups (maximum of two) or one and one with the instructor. Our instructors are highly trained physiotherapists or exercise physiologists who have undertaken further studies and training in clinical pilates. As our instructors are highly qualified they can assist clients in the rehabilitation and prevention of musculoskeletal injury, throughout a pilates session.

The Beaudesert, Jimboomba, Yarrabilba and Browns Plains clinics all offer pilates. By providing a variety of pilates therapies the instructors can design a session that suits the individual’s needs, allowing adaptations for any injuries or conditions.

During the session, the client will experience not only pilates but additional exercise techniques to achieve maximal benefit. All the traditional equipment will be available to use, such as, the reformer, wunda chair, half trapez table and mat exercises.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is an effective and efficient technique that is used by most of our physiotherapists to treat muscular pain and myofascial dysfunction. It is directly concerned with treating the specific neuromuscular problems that cause pain and hinder mobility. Dry needling is used to relax overactive muscles which can contain trigger points. Trigger points are taut/stretched/tense bands in the muscle which creates musculoskeletal pain caused from overstimulating or repetitive actions of the muscle. They can refer pain and cause dysfunction in multiple parts of the body, a common pain is headaches.
The process involves a thin needle to be inserted into the sore area of the muscle, this being the trigger point. From here, it will be manipulated, which can cause slight discomfort. It will be left in for a brief period of time, then removed. The aim of dry needling is to relax the muscle, with the long-term aim of reducing the associated pain and discomfort permanently.

Podiatry

Podiatrists are highly-skilled, university trained health professionals trained to prevent, diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate medical and surgical conditions of the feet and lower limbs, including those related to underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes.

Some feet have special needs – children’s feet, sporting feet, working feet, mature feet and feet affected by disease and the treatment of disease, such as chemotherapy.

Many factors associated with diabetes contribute to a reduced ability to heal wounds. Regular visual foot checks are vital for foot health, and Diabetes Australia recommends that people with diabetes see a podiatrist at least once every 12 months.

Traditional Chinese Acupuncture
& Chinese Herbal Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine has been used for thousands of years. It is believed that the human body has a dynamic state of balance, both internally and with the environment. It usually includes acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine and remedial massage techniques. The aim of traditional Chinese acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine is to take a holistic view to understand the normal function and disease process of the individual. Allowing them to focus on treatment and prevention of illness.

Qi is known as the energy that is created along the pathways that connect the acupuncture points on the body. The unseen pathway that links these points are called meridians. These not only link the acupuncture points but also connect to internal organs in the body. When the individual is healthy, a rich supply of Qi flows through the body. If the flow of Qi becomes blocked or there is a low supply, the body fails to maintain harmony and balance. Allowing disease and illness to follow. Many factors can be a contributor to this including; stress, overwork, poor di et, environmental factors and other lifestyle factors.

The process involves the acupuncturist to examine the clients’ tongue’s shape, colour and coating, check their pulse and possibly perform physical examinations. Based on the information gathered the acupuncturist will be able to recommend a treatment for the clients’ individual condition. Once comfortable the acupuncturist will stimulate the acupoints with very fine needles. Most individuals report to feel no pain or very mild discomfort.
