Lumbo-Pelvic Stability Retraining Classes

We know that specific muscles work to keep you stable as you sit, walk, stand and exercise. The deepest layer of muscles in you abdominal wall work together with deep back muscles and your pelvic floor to support the joints in your back and pelvis during every movement that you make (core muscles). Unfortunately these muscles can stop working properly due to pain, injury or as a result of poor posture and work habits. The way your body copes with this may actually cause more pain, stiffness, aching, and difficulty moving.

Our exercise classes provide you with the tools to assist your body in working normally.

Our classes are split into 4 stages that progressively advance your muscle movements and abity to move without pain.

Stage 1: Introduction to Core Control & Lumbo-Pelvic Stability Retraining

Postural retraining for sitting, standing, sit to stand and bending
Learning how to reboot your core to assist stability in daily activities

Which stretches are best for your body and when to use them

Stage 2: Building Lumbo-Pelvic Muscle Endurance and Control

Progress core muscle activation into every exercise
Progress capacity to preform squats, step-ups and single leg standing control

Before starting a class you will need to be assessed by a physiotherapist to ensure the classes will suit you.

If you are already attending Sydney Spine & Pelvis Centre for Physiotherapy, please discuss the option of progressing into a class with your physiotherapist. If you are new to our service, please call us at 9719 9114 to organise your assessment prior to booking into the classes.

Cost and Payment of classes

The cost for the block of 10 core classes (In Gym) is $550 payable in advance at the Drummoyne Practice. 

If you are unable to attend one of your classes there will unfortunately not be a refund for the missed session. However, you can make up a maximum of ONE class at another time during the term (subject to availability) so please select your dates carefully before booking.
