The Full Body MOT – Biomechanical Assessment

This is ideal if you have acute or chronic pain, long-term illnesses, complex pain patterns, or more than one physical concern. It can also be framed to sports-specific treatment and performance optimisation. At your first visit, we will take a full history of your condition/s, review any previous investigations/reports or treatments, look at your movement, assess you using Pilates exercises and/or hands-on techniques, explain our findings, and begin hands-on physiotherapy to treat you as appropriate.

Following the assessment, we will give you a small selection of home exercises to get you going in preparation for your next session. Together you and the physio will agree on a goal-led treatment plan to target your specific needs. You will discuss which session types may be most beneficial for you whether that is Reformer Pilates, Dynamic Matwork, Barre, or a combination of all three if you fancy.

The Physical Baseline Assessment

In order to plan the best approach, all clients need to be assessed by a senior Physiotherapist before embarking on a treatment programme or Group Reformer Pilates sessions.

During your first visit, we will take a history of your physical condition, look at your movement using Pilates exercises to assess you, as well giving you a brief introduction to Reformer and machine-based Pilates.

We will explain our findings and give you a small selection of home exercises to get you going in preparation for your next session. We will discuss which session types (Privates or Classes) may be most beneficial for you and together you and the physio will agree on a goal-led plan to target your specific needs and wants.

During this session, we will take a full history of your condition/s and training programme, review any previous investigations/reports or treatments, assess your movement, posture, and strength using Pilates exercises and/or hands-on techniques, and explore any predisposition to injury – whether as part of your lifestyle, your work set-up, or from an underlying postural or biomechanical imbalance.
