Sports Therapy specifically focuses on the prevention of injury and the rehabilitation of the patient back to optimum levels of fitness regardless of age and ability. It is concerned with identifying and maximizing quality of life and movement potential within the spheres of prevention, treatment/intervention and rehabilitation

It focuses on the rotation or deformation of joints or muscles caused by engaging in physical activities. With the correct exercise programme these muscles can be restored and the chance of the pain returning reduced. This is just one of the benefits of our Pilates for Back Pain classes.

For example during periods of back pain the core stability muscles become weaker due to the reduction in their use. Research has shown that people who take an exercise programme which concentrates on these core stability muscles show significant reduction in pain.
