One of the many benefits of Pilates programs are how they can be tailored for your own unique goals.

Take a look at this creative design of exercise specifically for a rock climber recovering from a foot injury! We used Markalu apparatus on the Pilates reformer jump board to take our client through some low impact exercises in her progression back to her tricky rock climbing foot postures.

Strengthen and heal with individualised exercise programmes delivered by our experienced Pilates instructors and physiotherapists, assisting your recovery from dance and sports injury, aiming to prevent recurrence of pain and loss of function.

What is it?

Osgood-Schlatter disease is a condition where the growth plate at the top of the shin bone (tibia) and just below the kneecap becomes irritated.

It is characterised by pain and swelling below the knee joint and may be accompanied by a small bump in the area.

What causes it?

Osgood-Schlatter is caused by overuse of the quadriceps and its patellar tendon, which connects the kneecap (patella) to the tibia. The growth plate in the bone, lies deep to this tendon attachment at top of the tibia, thus become painful from tension load.

Dance and some sports often require high amounts of jump take off and landing, which increase the patellar tendon transfer load to the growth plate area. If this load is too extreme with limited recovery time, young dancers or sports people may develop this condition, especially if they are experiencing a growth spurt.

What can we do to help?
Physiotherapy management typically consists of:
- Personalised strengthening program including Pilates and low impact training
- Advice on activity modification at dance or sport
- Massage of surrounding muscles
- Taping

Susie had the pleasure of presenting at a seminar day, for a dance conference in Christchurch Aotearoa NZ.

The topic of Bone health and safe dance spans across age groups.

Safe dance concerns for young dancers and teachers, to prevent bone stress and build peak bone density by early 20’s.

Keep dancing and exercising safely into post Menopausal years! Some tips for doing this are: maintaining and improving good bone density, straight backed posture for lifting, avoiding loaded spinal flexion exercise and positions, balance for falls prevention and adequate nutrition.

This is an area of special interest for Susie! She received good feedback from participants.
