8 Common postural problems and recommended exercises

What Posture pattern do YOU adopt ?

Here we explain 8 of the most common postural problems we see in the clinic
Do you slump in a chair, cradle your phone in your neck or maybe stand on one leg?
When you neglect your posture repeatedly, muscle imbalances can start and contribute to other problems.
We have  also included some of the recommended exercises for each posture you might like to try.



10 Pilates exercises you shouldn't do if you have back pain

If you have back pain and want to use Pilates as a method to help, the info here may be worth your time to read.

NOT all common Pilates exercises are suitable for people with back pain. The important principles of Pilates are consistent with an exercise program that promotes back health. In particular, learning awareness of neutral alignment and  strengthening the deep postural muscles. But not all exercises are as good as you may think.



Are shin splints ruining your day!

As the warm weather hits, many of us have picked up our running shoes and started to get fit for summer- only to discover the fronts of our shins are not happy. Read our blog that explains the different types of shin pain and helpful hints.
