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.
Benefits of Pilates
Massage provides a healing treatment, where the therapist views the client in a holistic manner, to treat the whole body. At Absolute Physio and Rehab, we offer a variety of massage styles.
Benefits of Massage:
Types of Massage
Swedish Massage:
Swedish oil massage is a relaxing massage that incorporates long, flowing strokes up and down the desired part of the body. Generally, this style is performed at a light to medium pressure. It is intended to release muscle tension and calm the clients mind.
Deep Tissue Massage:
Deep tissue massage is a firm pressured massage that involves the use of hands, forearms and elbows. The aim of a deep tissue massage is to unwind knots and tightness from your muscles.
Sport Massage:
Sports massage can be combined with a Swedish or Deep Tissue massage. This involves stretching your muscles to increase flexibly and blood flow to tight and sore areas.
Remedial Massage:
Remedial massage is performed at a gentle or strong, deep or shallow level. During this massage, the therapist will seek to trace the pain back to the original cause, working on both the cause and the symptoms.
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.
Benefits of Acupuncture
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.
It is recommended you visit a podiatrist if:
