Clinical Pilates
Pilates exercises were developed by Mr Joseph Pilates who borned in Germany in 1923. This exercise not only improves muscle power, flexibility, balance, posture and coordination of the whole body; but also promotes the control of core muscles around abdomen and spine, which are essential in providing stability and reducing pain.
Clinical Pilates exercises are recommended for back and neck pain, postoperative or post-sports injury, and postural dysfunction patients.
A thorough assessment will be provided by physiotherapists in the first session. A tailor made training program will then be designed according to the individual needs of the patients. “Trapeze table” and “Reformer” are the equipment being used , aimed at improving the control of core muscles, reducing back and neck pain, and correcting poor posture.
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)
SWT, developed from the lithotripsy technology for kidney or bladder stone, is widely applied on orthopaedic chronic pain conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, golfers’ elbow, Achilles’ tendinitis.
Orthotic Insole Prescription
Physiotherapist, after a lower limb biomechanic assessment, tailor-makes an orthotic insole by adding inserts and heat moulding. Orthotic insoles are beneficial for patients with flat feet, high arch feet and leg-length discrepancy, by minimizing the effect of faulty feet alignments to posture, gait and pain (plantar fasciitis, bunions, metatarsalgia, knee pain or even hip and back pain).
Neurology and Elderly Rehabilitation Exercises
Physiotherapist carry out a comprehensive assessment and devise a suitable exercise programme, on stretching, strengthening, gait and balance training.
