Initial Pilates Assessment
Prior to commencing Pilates with Clovelly Road Physiotherapy an initial Pilates assessment is undertaken. The main objectives of this assessment are to ensure safe practice and to maximise the potential benefit experienced with Pilates classes and with independent practice at home. This takes 60 minutes and consists of the following:
 - Thorough assessment
 - Evaluation of goals
 - Assessment of pelvic floor, transversus abdominus and multifidus muscle function using real time ultrasound
 - Explanation of the concept of whole body core stability
 - Teaching of basic Pilates principles, concepts and exercises

Real Time Ultrasound
Physiotherapists use Real Time Ultrasound to take a look at how the pelvic floor, lower abdominal and back muscles are functioning. Real Time Ultrasound allows us to assess how well you're able to initiate activity in these muscles as well as their endurance. You will also be able to see how these muscles contract which will give you invaluable feedback about how to improve upon muscle function. These factors are important in retraining your deep stabilising muscles which are vital in providing support to the pelvis and lumbar spine and will contribute towards increasing the quality of your Pilates practice.
