Treatments

At the initial consultation before any sports therapy treatment Jane will start by taking a detailed medical history asking about present and past health problems, family history, general health and mechanism of injury. It will save time if you complete a form in advance; you can access the form here.

The initial consultation starts with a review of your detailed medical background. You will then undergo a series of biomechanical, movement and neurological tests to help assess the injury and a course of treatment is determined and administered using various therapeutic techniques.

The principles of Pilates are ideal for rehabilitation, but if they aren‘t used in conjunction with proper clinical diagnosis and therapy techniques it could do more harm than good. Conversely, physical therapy techniques may prove inappropriate on their own as the exercises may be too hard for the patient or may cause too much pain, or -very often-  the patient’s body awareness is not adequate to enable them to achieve maximum results – something that Pilates teaches you to do.

That is why, as a fully qualified sports therapist working with Pilates, Jane creates combinations of Pilates disciplines with appropriate modalities and techniques of sports therapy to provide the most effective combination for each individual patient.

The prescribed treatment may have to be delivered over several sessions. This will be discussed with you during the consultation. If appropriate, please check with your medical insurance provider that this therapy is covered under the terms of your policy prior to starting a course of treatment.
