Our Services


Clinical Pilates

At Basham Physiotherapy, we have a full onsite clinical Pilates studio that includes reformers, ½ trapeze, wunda chair and small pilates apparatus. Our physiotherapists have completed post graduate clinical Pilates training. We utilise Pilates when indicated during our treatments, and in individual and group Pilates sessions.


Clinical Pilates is a movement and exercise based therapy that combines traditional Pilates exercises with our extensive physiotherapy training in human movement to prescribe an individual exercise program focusing on your specific needs and goals. Clinical Pilates is an effective way to improve functional movement patterns, increase strength and stability, restore neuromuscular control and to manage, and prevent a wide range of conditions.

Each patient is individually assessed by their practitioner and guided through a progressive and specific movement routine to address their goals and deficits. Clinical Pilates provides a safe and highly specific form of exercise that is effective for anyone; from the most elite athlete to those who are just starting their exercise journey. Clinical Pilates can be targeted towards injury prevention or those who are completing rehabilitation post injury.


How Do I Get Started?


Assessment

Before commencing clinical Pilates, each participant will require a specific Pilates assessment. This assessment is required for all participants, including those who have previously seen one of our physiotherapists or chiropractors. This assessment will consist of reviewing injuries and goals, determining the direction that your body prefers to move in, your balance and current level of stability and muscle co-ordination patterns. Once an individual exercise program as been prescribed, and you are able to safely complete this exercises program, you may be able to join a small group session.

Small Group Session

Small group sessions consist of a maximum of four participants and are supervised by a qualified physiotherapist or chiropractor. Each participant completes their own individual exercise program that was prescribed during their previous assessments. During these sessions, exercises may be modified or progressed under the instruction of the group supervisor.

Does My Health Fund Cover Pilates?

With the recent health reforms, Pilates is no longer covered under health funds as a stand alone treatment. Physiotherapy or chiropractic functional rehabilitation can claimed through your health fund under the funding of the discipline (physiotherapist or chiropractor) who provided your treatment. Clinical Pilates can be provided under DVA, CDM, Workers' Compensation and TAC.

Functional Rehabilitation


Functional rehabilitation at Basham Physiotherapy consists of completing an individualised and goal directed exercise program, targeting your individual needs. We have access to an extensive range of equipment including strength and conditioning, cardiovascular, reformers, trapeze and small apparatus.
