Employees can visit the stand to discuss their musculoskeletal issues with an Osteopath and receive advice on future treatment plans and ongoing exercise and stretch plans.
Should a problem be identified, our clinic can offer fast access to treatment that is cost effective with our corporate rates.
Our highly qualified and experienced Pilates instructors offer 45 minute sessions during employees lunch break or immediately after work. The sessions have been designed by our Occupational health team of Pilates instructors and Osteopaths to create a unique back care class which will strengthen and condition the back and reduce the incidence of back pain in the workplace and everyday life.
Participants will receive follow up emails containing instructions on how to perform the exercises covered in class and regular advice on posture and back care, enabling them to continue to exercise at home or at the gym.
Pilates is a proved and effective way to condition the body and support the muscles closest to the spine, therefore helping to stabilise the core and prevent back injury or pain. Pilates emphasises correct spinal and pelvic alignment as well as controlled breathing and stresses the importance of smooth, quality, flowing movement to help you have control over your body and become in tune with its needs. Regular Pilates develops a strong core, flat abdominals and a strong back by working the deep abdominal muscles and activating the trunk, shoulder girdle and pelvis. It also helps to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles which are so important in our everyday lives.
Sessions are aimed at a mixed ability group and open to anyone who wants to have a healthier, stronger back and prevent the incidence of back/neck pain.
Pilates is also available as a stand alone corporate package. If you have a group of 10 or more staff who would like to have an instructor deliver a weekly class in your workplace, please contact the clinic for more information.
