Our Pilates classes are up and running and we are so excited to see the positive impact of this beautiful practice on our patient’s lives. 🙌🏻

Why Pilates?

Originally called “Contrology,” Pilates is a method of whole body exercise designed to improve daily activities and livelihood.

Though there is an emphasis on core work, core strength alone is not the end goal. Rather, using that core strength to develop functional and sustainable movement patterns throughout the body is the goal.

Created in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates, the exercises coordinate movement and breath together to work the smaller and deeper stabilizing muscles of the body as much as your prime movers.

Pilates aligns your entire body’s overall structure and supports its joints. What appears to look simple can be deceptively challenging and incredibly effective when done correctly with good form.

Pilates is a low impact exercise that creates optimal strength through muscle balance and fine-tuning neuromuscular patterns.

It helps you move and breathe through your daily activities with more freedom and power and less pain.

Physiotherapists are accredited Dry Needling Practitioners once they have done the postgraduate dry needling course.

We often get asked if it is the same as Acupuncture and the answer is NO.

Below is a short summary of the similarities and differences.

Acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, whereas dry needling is a western medicine technique for which you need to have a medical diagnosis. There is a clear scientific understanding of dry needling, and it carries not spiritual connotation as acupuncture may do.

Acupuncture uses a meridian or non-meridian point location for needle insertion whereas dry needling uses trigger point location by palpation.

Both methods make use of sterile, single use, blister packed filiform surgical steel needles with a metal, plastic or rubber handle.

Acupuncture needles are often inserted very shallow, mainly into the skin and whereas the technique of dry needling often relies on deeper insertion into the muscle in order to target the deeper underlying trigger points.

Acupuncture techniques often rely on meridians: needling in one area to affect a distant area. Dry needling is performed at or very near the problematic area.

Acupuncture is performed by trained, licensed and registered practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Dry needling is performed by trained doctors, physiotherapists, chiropractors, homeopaths and osteopaths.

With acupuncture needles are often left in situ for up to 20min, occasionally for a few days. With dry needling the needles are manipulated and removed following elicitation of multiple local trigger points.

Dry needling is not something to be afraid of and it is only one of the many tools in a physiotherapist's tool box which we can use. If you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask at your next session.
