Mat Pilates for Chronic Lower Back Pain

Chronic lower back pain doesn’t always improve with rest or stretching alone, movement that builds strength and control can play a key role in recovery.

Evidence from clinical research shows that a 10-week Mat Pilates program can reduce pain and improve daily function in people with chronic non-specific lower back pain. The takeaway? Structured movement that focuses on strength, stability and coordinated control can translate to real improvements over time.

Mat Pilates at Flex focuses on:
· Core and trunk strength
· Coordination and stability around the spine
· Movement awareness and breathing patterns

If you’ve tried other approaches with limited improvement, integrating our physiotherapist-run Mat Pilates classes into your routine may help build the resilience and control your body needs.

• Wednesday 12:15pm with Kathryn
• Monday 6:15pm with Ruby

Meet the newest members of the Flex team!

We’re so excited to welcome two new physiotherapists to the Flex family.

Ruby is a passionate physiotherapist with a lifelong connection to sport and movement. Her drive to pursue physiotherapy came from growing up in a sport loving family and having a keen interest in lifelong health and wellbeing. She is very experienced in teaching both Reformer and Mat Pilates, and also has a keen interest in women’s and pelvic health, as well as injury management and prevention.

Janice grew up playing a wide range of sports inspiring her passion for becoming a physiotherapist from a young age. She has a strong interest in treating headaches, neck pain, and shoulder injuries. An enthusiastic and energetic addition to the team, Janice is excited to deliver high-quality, comprehensive care that helps clients return to the activities they love without limitations!

They both bring fresh enthusiasm, a passion for movement, and a commitment to helping clients reach their goals. With a focus on individualised care, guidance, and support, they’re ready to help you move confidently, recover effectively, and enjoy your journey to better health.

Quick ways to ease a back spasm

Back spasms can be sudden and uncomfortable, but there are a few things you can do to help before seeing a physiotherapist:
· Gentle movement: Slowly change positions or walk around to keep blood flowing.
· Heat or cold: A warm pack can relax tight muscles; cold can reduce sharp pain.
· Support your posture: Sit or lie in a position that feels comfortable, keeping the spine supported.
· Breathing: Slow, deep breaths help muscles relax and reduce tension.

These strategies are temporary relief — a physiotherapist can treat with manual therapy, identify the cause of your spasm and create a personalised plan to prevent it happening again.

Remember to listen to your body and seek guidance early for lasting relief!

A glimpse into a 3:1 Clinical Pilates class at Flex

Our 1-hour Clinical Pilates class runs with one physiotherapist and three attendees, giving you individualised guidance and corrections in a small, supportive group. The session uses predominantly reformer-based exercises, with each participant working through a bespoke program tailored to their needs, goals, and any injuries or limitations.

Pulling from a wide range of exercises, our physiotherapists introduce flexibility and variety, helping you stay engaged and challenged while moving safely. This class is perfect for anyone wanting personalised attention in a small group — from those returning from injury or pregnancy, looking to improve strength and control, or simply seeking safe, guided movement with expert physiotherapists.

Our physiotherapists care about your progress, helping you build strength, control and confidence every session. We are also so proud of how sociable and nurturing our Pilates community is here at Flex.

Remedial massage for headaches, stress and tension

Headaches and ongoing tension often build gradually. Long hours at a desk, sustained stress, jaw clenching and upper back stiffness can all contribute to load through the neck and shoulders.

Remedial massage can help by addressing muscle tension, improving circulation and reducing the physical strain that accumulates through daily life. For some people, this support can reduce headache frequency or intensity, particularly when muscular tension is a contributing factor.

Relief from tension is rarely just one thing. Combining massage with gentle movement, posture awareness, and simple daily habits helps the body reset and stay comfortable.

Prenatal Physiotherapy: Supporting Your Body Through Pregnancy

Pregnancy brings significant changes to strength, posture and load — and your body deserves support through each stage.

Prenatal physiotherapy focuses on:
· Managing back, pelvic and hip discomfort
· Supporting pelvic floor and core function
· Adapting exercise safely as your body changes
· Preparing your body for birth and recovery

Treatment and exercise are always individualised, taking into account your stage of pregnancy, symptoms and activity levels. The goal isn’t restriction — it’s helping you stay strong, comfortable and confident in movement.

Whether you’re experiencing discomfort or simply want guidance on safe exercise, prenatal physiotherapy provides evidence-based support during a time of rapid change.

3 Things You Might Not Know a Physiotherapist Can Help With

Physiotherapy is often associated with injuries — but our scope goes well beyond pain management.

Here are three areas people are often surprised we can help with:
· Headaches and jaw tension linked to posture, neck load, or muscle tension
· Persistent stiffness or fatigue that hasn’t responded to stretching alone
· Movement confidence after time off exercise, illness, or long periods of stress

Physiotherapists assess how your body moves as a whole — not just where symptoms are felt. By addressing strength, control, load management and recovery, we help clients move more comfortably and confidently in everyday life.

Cycling Analysis at Flex

Cycling injuries, weakness, and poor performance often come from being in a position that doesn’t suit your body. A biomechanical Bike Fit assessment at our clinic helps you find the position that’s right for you, so you can focus on technique, comfort, and performance.

During your session, our cycling physio, Rosie Moore, will:
· Assess how your body moves on the bike
· Identify areas that may be limiting performance or causing discomfort
· Provide guidance to improve efficiency and prevent injury

Rosie brings her experience as a road and mountain bike rider, and a Physiotherapist with Bike Fit, cycling rehabilitation and Science of Cycling qualifications. — giving you expert insight into both your body and your ride.

Book your Bike Fit assessment and get ready to ride stronger and pain-free.

Keeping your progress during a break from training

Time away from your usual routine happens — holidays, busy work periods, family commitments. A short break from structured exercise doesn’t undo the work you’ve put in.
Keeping a small amount of movement going often helps maintain momentum.

A few simple things that make coming back easier:
· Move in ways that fit your day — walking, swimming, light mobility
· Doing a little, even once or twice a week, beats stopping altogether
· Keep joints moving through ranges you know tend to stiffen up
· Be mindful that travel, poor sleep and long days add extra load
· When you return, ease back in rather than trying to pick up where you left off

Looking after your body during slower periods is part of staying consistent long term.

Starting the New Year Right: Choosing the Right Class for You

A strong start to the year isn’t about doing more — it’s about choosing movement that actually supports your body.

At Flex, our physiotherapist-led classes are designed to meet you where you’re at.

Clinical Pilates (3:1)
· This 60-minute class is run by one physiotherapist with three attendees. It uses predominantly reformer-based exercises, with each person guided through their own individualised program. This format allows for flexibility, variety, and progression based on your goals, movement history, and how your body responds on the day.

Rehab and Strength (5:1)
· This 45-minute class is run by one physiotherapist with five attendees. It combines reformer and strength-based exercises, following a structured program with set reps and loads. This makes it particularly well suited for acute injuries or those who benefit from a clear, consistent framework.

Mat Classes
· Our mat-based offerings include Perform (bodyweight circuit), Mat Pilates, Vinyasa Yoga and Yin Yoga. These classes focus on strength, mobility, control and recovery, providing accessible options that complement both rehab and performance-based goals.

The right class helps you build strength safely and sustainably — setting the tone for the year ahead. Talk to your physiotherapist or our friendly front desk team to learn more about joining a class here at Flex

Shoulder stiffness holding you back?

We often see clients noticing small changes in their shoulders — difficulty reaching overhead, turning to look behind, or discomfort while sleeping. These everyday movements can be affected by posture, overuse, or previous injuries.

A few simple ways to support your shoulders at home and work:
· Pause during the day to gently move your shoulders and upper back
· Position your desk and chair so your shoulders remain neutral and supported.
· Include light strength work for your rotator cuff and shoulder blade muscles

At Flex Sports Physiotherapy, we combine hands-on therapy, targeted exercises, Remedial Massage and Clinical Pilates to guide you safely back to full movement. Every shoulder is different, and small adjustments now can prevent bigger frustrations later.

Have you noticed stiffness affecting your day-to-day life? Share your experience — we’d love to hear what’s been tricky for you.
