Real Time Ultrasound
Real Time ultrasound is equipment used by the Physiotherapist to assess contraction of the deep stabilising muscles of the spine (core muscles). It is like the equipment used by Obstetricians to assess the foetus in the womb. Physiotherapists use it to accurately assess the timing and endurance of the deep spinal stabilisers. It enables specificity of muscle retraining and provides visual feedback of the muscle performance which can assist the patient in effectively engaging their core muscles.

At Shellharbour Health, we prioritise small group pilates groups so we can personalise each session for a bespoke clinical approach where it is highly specific to the individual.
We identifies the key issue restricting movement and focuses on carefully selected exercises to optimise the individuals’ physical performance. It is suitable for all ages and physical backgrounds. Pilates is considered a holistic approach to optimising the body’s efficiency from the inside out.

There is an emerging body of scientific evidence supporting the application of Clinical Pilates in restoring optimal movement patterns and managing low back pain. Clinical Pilates focuses on the retraining and recruitment of the stabilizing muscles (core) that support the back and body movement.
