Matwork Pilates

Matwork Pilates is where it all began. Joseph Pilates first developed the traditional matwork Pilates exercises to help rehabilitate in-patients in hospital who would otherwise be left to their own devices.

He soon developed an extensive series of core stability exercises and defined the core principles of Pilates such as focus, breathing, centring and alignment. This new form of exercise then took off particularly in the world of ballet.

Matwork Pilates is now widely taught and many physiotherapists, including ours at MSO Physio, have undergone additional training to further understand this specific type of training. Extensive research has been conducted looking at the specific muscles involved in Pilates and we are now aware that these same muscles are very important in the management of low back pain, neck pain and various other problems.

Physiotherapists tend to use Clinical Pilates exercises, which are simplified, broken down versions of the original matwork Pilates exercises, then use these as fundamental principles to underpin other forms of training and conditioning.

Reformer Pilates

Reformer Pilates is a specific branch of Pilates and uses a large piece of equipment called a Reformer to either assist of resist particular movements.

Reformer Pilates has become more and more popular and the Reformer itself is a fantastic piece of equipment and essential in any advanced Pilates studio set-up. Through the use of springs and a carriage system exercise can be made easier or more difficult depending on the needs of the individual making Reformer Pilates a brilliant way of personalising exercise programmes.

Reformer Pilates is excellent at working the body to its physical limits in terms of mobility, strength, balance and core stability and can be a very effective tool in injury rehabilitation, recovery and prevention.

At our Sutton clinic MSO Physio has a Reformer in our dedicated Pilates and rehabilitation studio which is used as part of general rehabilitation, during 1-2-1 Clinical Pilates sessions and often in our small group classes.

TESTIMONIALS

"I was under the care of Nick suffering from pelvic misalignment, muscle spasm and sciatica. During the time I underwent treatment I was accurately diagnosed with an impingement of the sciatic nerve which was later confirmed with an MRI scan as a bulging lumbar disc.

During the time I received treatment, I experienced relief from the symptoms and was given a series of exercises to carry out for self-care in between appointments. Nick was very practical and pragmatic with the advice he gave me, informing me that surgery is really a last resort and that there are various other options to help recover from the issue.

I have now been given the opportunity of receiving Pilates in a class run at the clinic by a specialist musculoskeletal physiotherapist, which will be bespoke treatment for the spinal issue I am experiencing. I would happily recommend this clinic and their staff to anyone experiencing any issues."

LS, ADMINISTRATOR, NORTH CHEAM

"Nick helped me after I started experiencing pain in my hip/leg from weightlifting. He not only identified and guided me through fixing the problem, but has also given me a great deal of valuable advice for my training. Very happy with the results, would definitely recommend."

Kim Wilson

"Cannot recommend the clinic highly enough. Nick treated my daughter after knee surgery. Hugely thorough, knowledgeable and caring. There are physio teams and physio teams.... This is the best I've experienced in years."

Andrew Willmott

"Unlike what the last guy posted, this is probably the best physio practice I've been to. I've been to other 'professional' physios that provide treatment for the sake of appearing to do something. The first session is generally a consultation to examine the issues. The ongoing advice and treatment is fantastic."

Stacy Walter

"Great Clinic. Staff is great and very professional. Have had quick a few sports massages with Kieran O'Connor. Highly recommend it!"

Cristina Duarte

"Fantastic service from start to finish. These guys know what they are doing!"

Aine Ringrose

"Top quality advice,better than regular Physio such as Nuffield or nhs."

Simon Rushton

"Nice folks, reccomened for treatment"

Pregnancy Pilates

Pilates during and after pregnancy can greatly help to limit or manage symptoms felt during all of the stages of pregnancy plus during the post-natal phase. Otherwise known as ante and post-natal Pilates or simply pregnancy Pilates, traditional Pilates exercises are adapted for the different stages of pregnancy.

Pre-natally and especially in the third trimester time spent lying on your back is reduced to a minimum and both pre and post-natally great emphasis is placed on engaging abdominals and gluteals to provide as much pelvic control and stability as possible. Pregnancy Pilates can include matwork exercises, small equipment and large equipment such as the Reformer. Each specific exercise is adapted and individualised where required to suit the needs of the person.

At MSO Physio we have physiotherapists who specialise in Pregnancy Pilates and the management of pain and problems associated with pregnancy. Clients will always be seen on an individual basis initially to understand their particular needs and then both 1-2-1 and small group classes are possible under the watchful eye of a specialist physiotherapist.
