[ BEGIN ]

The beginning of your Grounded Movement Pilates journey starts with an Initial Consultation.

From there, we use detailed knowledge of anatomy, physiology and the Pilates method to inform your personalised Pilates program, tailored to your injury history, your body and your goals.

Who is ready to start their Pilates journey with us?

[ ACTION ]

Who’s ready to snap into action this year?

We love addidng little props to our exercise repertoire. A chi ball is a super piece of Pilates equipment to enhance so many exercises - like on the reformer between the legs, for that extra oomf for the adductors, hamstrings and pelvic floor and drawing attention to lower limb allignment.

Come and experience the joy of the reformer - beginners welcome! Call us today to get the ball rolling.

[ FROZEN ]

The head of the humerus fits into a shallow socket called the glenoid fossa, which sits on the outer aspect of the shoulder blade. The joint is encapsulated by connective tissue, known as the joint capsule, and is filled with synovial fluid to lubricate and nourish the tissues within the joint.

Occasionally, and we're not sure why or how, this can go awry and lead to a frozen shoulder.

Often referred to as Adhesive capsulitis, a frozen shoulder is characterized by initially painful and later progressively restricted active and passive glenohumeral joint range of motion with spontaneous complete or nearly-complete recovery over a varied period of time.

This inflammatory condition causes fibrosis of the glenohumeral joint capsule, is accompanied by gradually progressive stiffness and significant restriction of range of motion (typically external rotation).

It can be a tricky condition to treat, but hands-on physiotherapy and guided exercise program are extremely helpful in managing the symptoms.

Having trouble with your shoulder? We can help. Give us a call!

[ ATHLETE ]

Dr Sue Mayes of the Australian Ballet describes dancers as "athletic artists, not artistic athletes".

Dance injury prevention, management and rehabilitation is an area of speciality for Grounded Movement; we pride ourselves on being able to integrate scientific-based clinical medicine with a holistic and grounded approach to wellbeing.

Dance physio is available at Grounded Movement to assist dancers with their development. Our physiotherapists will work with the dancer and their support crew (parents, teachers, school) to establish a plan and set about achieving specific goals.

[ SHRUG ]

Sore neck or shoulder from sitting at a desk? Feel like you need to stretch it out? How about activating the muscle so it's awake and alert and capable of maintaining good posture.

The this shoulder shrug:

In standing, focus on one shoulder: lift the tip of your shoulder up towards the back of your ears.

Hold the shrug and take a breath...then gradually allow it to lower.

Repeat a few times each side.

[ FLEX ]

We have a few muscles that cross the front of the hip and act as hip flexors - a movement where the thigh bone is brough closer to the torso.

One of those muscles is the psoas. It is a long strap of a muscle, and is implicated in thoraco-lumbo-pelvic-lower limb function as it has attachement sites on multiple vertebra and spans a great longitudinal distance down to the thigh bone.

Certain activites or postures, such as prolonged sitting or standing with a lazy sway back, place the psoas in a shortend position, where the muscle fibres tighten and weaken over time, leading to dysfunction around the region. A common inclination is to stretch the muscle, or 'release' it, but what the muscle really needs is to learn how to be a hip flexor and become strong again.

Our physio can help - book an appointment online (link in bio) or give us a buzz at 9571 6977.
