Clinical Pilates at Performance Physiotherapy
Performance Physiotherapy is an established Physiotherapy clinic based in Cork City.
Clinical Pilates
At Performance Physiotherapy we specialise in the use of Pilates both as an exercise form and a clinical rehabilitation tool alongside our physiotherapy skills.
As physiotherapists we are trained to carry out a thorough in-depth assessment of your clinical history. This includes looking at previous injuries, as well as current movement habits, and then evaluating how the combination of these things has impacted on how your body currently chooses to move. we combine hands on therapy with Pilates to build a holistic plan to facilitate your recovery or sports performance.
Our clients range from: Olympic athletes looking to improve how they move, those who are recovering from surgery or musculoskeletal injuries such as low back pain or anybody who is generally looking to feel better whether exercise related or not.
Getting started
If you are new to our clinic and looking to begin Pilates classes we will start your journey with a 1:1 assessment with one of our Chartered Physiotherapist. This appointment will help us fully understand your needs and help us place you into an appropriate class. You can book your assessment through our online booking service or via our receptionist at 0868850217.
