ARE YOU IN TRAINING?
Despite the many health benefits of running and jogging, injuries can occur, especially heel pain, shin pain and knee pain. The most common running injuries affect the lower limb and include Blisters, Plantar Fasciitis, Runner’s knee (IlioTibial Band Friction Syndrome) and Shin pains.
If you are suffering symptoms to one of these common running injuries or any other symptoms, our Chartered Physiotherapists are available at convenient times throughout the day and evening to provide treatment and advice.
Please do not hesitate to contact us for further information on 0117 9706390 or email mail@cliftonphysio.co.uk
PILATES
“Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness. In order to achieve happiness, it is imperative to gain mastery of your body. If at the age of 30 you are stiff and out of shape, you are old. If at 60 you are supple and strong then you are young.”
Joseph Pilates
What is Pilates? Pilates is a form of exercise that helps to improve flexibility and stability within the body. Physiotherapists and General Practitioners recommend Pilates as one of the safest forms of exercise today.
Who can benefit? This gentle, hollistic approach means that just about anyone can benefit, regardless of age and fitness level. However, many conditions such as neck and shoulder pain, low back pain and hip problems can be improved with specific strengthening exercises, aimed at providing stability to improve ease of movement. In addition Pilates can be used post-pregnancy in order to help with low back pain and general return to fitness.
Pilates at Clifton Physiotherapy Here at Clifton Physiotherapy we are able to offer Pilates on a 1:1 basis with our specifically trained physiotherapist Pauline Niblett, who will assess holistically and give an individual Pilates programme specific to your needs or injury.
