Pilates is a regimen of exercise focusing on the core postural muscles which help keep the body balanced and which are essential to providing support for the spine. Clinical Pilates harnesses physios’ understanding of body mechanics to tailor exercises to your needs.
In particular, Pilates classes teach awareness of breath and alignment of the spine, and aim to strengthen the deep torso muscles.

How It Works For Incontinence
For incontinence, the chair helps by:
Targeting the right muscles: It ensures a perfect contraction every time, eliminating the frustration of wondering if you are doing your exercises correctly.
Building core strength: The stimulation strengthens the entire pelvic floor network, improving both bladder and bowel control.
Calming overactive nerves: Specific frequencies can help normalise the neuronal signals from your bladder, significantly reducing the feeling of sudden urinary urgency.

The Process: Physio + Technology
Your treatment begins with a private, empathetic 1-hour assessment. We use real-time ultrasound to see exactly how your muscles are functioning and create a tailored plan for you, which might also include Clinical Pilates or manual therapy. You will also get a 5-minute trial on the PelviPower chair.
If we decide the chair is the best path forward, you will complete a course of 12 x 30-minute sessions. Your physiotherapist will closely monitor your progress with check-ins at your 2nd, 5th, and 8th sessions, ensuring you get the best possible outcome.
