Physio Special

Welcome to the Back to Back Pilates’ Physiotherapists resource page.

My DVD “Say Good Bye to Back Pain” was created as an adjunct to traditional physiotherapy treatment protocols. My aim was to improve client compliance with home exercise programs and even more importantly, enhance correct execution of the same exercises.

As a musculoskeletal physiotherapist with 25 years clinical experience, I saw a need for an evidence based, gentle exercise resource for my back pain clients, allowing them to gradually progress through safe, clearly described exercises on a daily basis.

Each exercise is shown from several camera angles and the pace is slow enough to avoid the ‘stop/start’ required with many exercise DVDs. An “If I have existing back pain, how do I use this DVD?” card is included with each DVD to ensure client safety when poerforming the exercises alone/ at home.

So what information and exercises are included in “Say Good Bye to Back Pain”?

Simple explanations about back pain and the causes of persistent or recurring pain
3 dimensional animated models of the key muscle groups throughout
Simple postural correction in sitting, standing and sitting to standing
Gentle core stabilisation techniques, including common mistakes and checks for global muscle activation
‘Beginner Series’ exercises for the client currently experiencing pain, including instructions for gentle progression within this series.
‘Intermediate Series’ exercises appropriate for the client whose pain has settled. Including slightly stronger abdominal, gluteal, shoulder and pelvic girdle strengthening and gentle stretches for the hip, neck and thoracic spine
Relaxation and gentle breathing techniques (including correction of aberrant breathing techniques).
Warnings are given about common mistakes with each exercise and attention is drawn to unwanted muscle involvement and techniques to self correct
Warnings are given about pain exacerbation and how to modify the program to suit the user.

At 72 minutes this is a comprehensive tool for physiotherapists and will ensure that home exercise programs serve as a helpful adjunct to hands on treatment. The DVD is fully chaptered, allowing for tailoring of the program to suit each of your clients.
