The Pilates Method
The Pilates Method is a non-impact fitness routine with an emphasis on gaining flexibility, strength, balance and co-ordination. Pronounced “pil-lah-tees” this unique method was developed in the early 1900’s by Joseph Pilates. During World War I Joseph Pilates redesigned hospital beds by adding springs and pulleys for the injured to exercise. This equipment became the Pilates equipment used today.
Popular with the dance industry and Hollywood stars, Pilates is a safe and effective way to stretch, strengthen and tone your body without adding bulk and stressing the joints.
The Pilates method is a non impact form of exercise that focuses on developing physical characteristics such as:
• core strength and stability
• balance and coordination
• increased flexibility
• increased muscular tone and endurance
• improved posture and alignment
• enhanced athletic performance
Other health related benefits include:
• relief from stress
• increased energy levels
• heightened body awareness and sex life
• reduced chronic back pain
• reduced joint impact
• prevention of injury
• speedy recovery from injury, surgery or birth
“People of all shapes and sizes, men and women, regardless of age and fitness levels will benefit from pilates"
Reviews
These guys are fantastic to work with. I can’t recommend them enough.
I have been seeing Aleisha Pobre at Focus for approx 6 months and doing Pilates and my back feels better than it has done in years I have made real progress when I had nearly given up and would reccomend Aleisha and Erik to anyone who is in pain, needs reabilitation or just wants to be healthy!
Had a great experience both times. Highly recommend Erik, he helped a lot with both shoulders. The office space is excellent with room to physically go over rehab exercises.
If you want to not only sort your body out, but also learn a whole lot about why you are feeling how you're feeling and how to manage it along the way - then these are THE people to see! After visiting a range of other health professionals, Aleisha as my physio is more than invested in my goals and has something new to teach me every session. I've been able to go from constant discomfort and poor movement patterns while training to managing daily training sessions and now having more than enough tools to manage myself when things play up.
All of the Pilates instructors are fantastic and are clued in to your own personal strengths and weaknesses so that your individualised programs are what works best for you.
I can't recommend Focus Movement Therapy enough!
Aleisha is my favourite person right now!! She has managed to reduce my pain to nil, and gotten my mobility and strength back to normal after a very painful neck and shoulder injury. I have been having regular appointments with her since April and am now back to my pre injury exercise routine. I highly recommend Focus Physio and Pilates to anyone, their care and industry knowledge is exceptional.
I highly recommend seeing Erik from Focus Physio & Pilates. For the past 15 years I have had lower and upper back pain and discomfort. Erik has identified the cause of my back problems and has offered long term solutions for recovery. Erik is extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to visit ;)
The team at Focus Physio & Pilates are amazing! I started seeing Erik for treatment and rehabilitation after a nasty back injury with serious disk damage. He has been fantastic and I am now pain free, and feeling great!
I thoroughly recommend Focus Physio & Pilates!
