How does Pilates Plus Physiotherapy help address back pain issues?

  • Pilates Plus looks at the “whole picture” not just at the site of your pain. We retrain the correct co-activation of the deep abdominal muscles, spinal stabilisers, pelvic floor and the diaphragm, creating a strong core that supports the lower back.
  • Reduces fall risk - balance exercises are integral to Onero™, helping to improve stability and coordination. This reduces the likelihood of falls, which can be especially dangerous for people with osteoporosis.
  • Poor posture is a common contributor to back pain. Pilates Plus promotes alignment and awareness during both static (sitting) and dynamic (walking, running) postures thereby , reducing strain on the lower back.
  • Gentle, controlled movements improve spinal control,  flexibility and mobility, reducing stiffness and discomfort.
  • Pilates Plus exercises enhance balance and stability, helping prevent falls or movements that may contribute or worsen back pain.
  • Exercises are safe, low impact,  and specifically designed for each client making them safe for individuals with chronic pain or injuries.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

about Pilates Physiotherapy for back pain

Request Consultation
Do I need a doctor's referral to start pilates physiotherapy if I have back pain?

Yes. Unlike other countries such as Australia, you are required to obtain a Dr’s referral letter to attend Physiotherapy sessions in Hong Kong.

During the initial consultation, Judith will conduct a detailed postural assessment, review your medical history, and perform specialized movement dysfunction tests. Based on this, they will design a personalized program tailored to your specific back pain and recovery goals.

It focuses on strengthening the core, improving flexibility, and correcting posture to alleviate pressure on the spine, reduce muscle tension, and prevent future back injuries.

Results vary, but many people begin to feel improvements in strength, flexibility, and pain reduction within usually 5 weeks of consistent sessions. Long-term benefits come with regular practice.

Frequency depends on your condition, but typically 1-2 times a week is recommended, especially in the beginning. Judith will provide guidance based on your progress.

Pilates Plus can significantly reduce pain, improve mobility, and prevent future issues, but results vary. It’s important to follow a comprehensive treatment plan that may also include other medical treatments as advised by Judith.
