How many Physio sessions will I need?

Generally,  sessions can range from 3-5 for acute injuries and 6-8 for chronic injuries / pain.

What Physio treatments are available?

Treatments available to your RPPR Physiotherapist will include massage, trigger point therapy, dry needling, exercise prescription, muscle energy techniques and electrotherapy e.g. TENS, ultrasound.

How do I prevent my pain from coming back?

Pilates related FAQ’s

How many Pilates sessions do I need?

As with any form of exercise, Pilates needs to be done routinely for health benefits to be achieved. Some clients are able to glean exercises from their Pilates classes and apply it to their home program. Some clients prefer regular supervision during our group classes. Results are seen quicker with more regular Pilates participation.

Does it help sport performance?

Definitely. Core strength has been shown to significantly improve upper and lower limb strength, speed, power, agility and endurance. It is perfect for sports such as Rugby Union, Rugby League, Australian Rules, Rowing, Golf and Tennis. It not only boosts performance but also helps prevent injuries.

How long will it take to fix my injury?

This will depend on severity of the injury / pain, whether it is acute or chronic and adherence to recommended rehabilitation. A chronic condition e.g. long term lower back pain, can take up to 2 months to see improvements whereas benefits can be seen within 2 weeks for more acute injuries e.g. neck sprain.

How many people to a class?

The first class will be a one on one session with an RPPR Clinical Pilates Instructor. During this session safety and technique will be discussed and movements specific to your injury will be identified.  This is followed up by participation in a group of 3-4.
