Pilates or Yoga Injury? Move Mindfully Again
Overstretched, strained, or in persistent pain? Get expert physio that understands mindful movement practices.
Pilates and yoga offer tremendous benefits for flexibility, strength, and wellbeing. However, pushing too far in a stretch, poor technique in weight-bearing poses, or underlying conditions exacerbated by certain positions can all lead to injury. Whether you're new to practice or experienced, physiotherapy can help you recover and return to your mat safely.
Because Pilates and yoga are seen as gentle exercise, injuries from these practices are often dismissed or ignored. But an overstretched hamstring can become chronic, and a lower back issue aggravated by certain postures can develop into a disc problem. Early physiotherapy ensures proper healing.
A physiotherapist who understands Pilates and yoga can help you identify which aspects of your practice are causing problems and create a plan that heals and strengthens.
