Pilates and yoga are both popular forms of exercise that a lot of people enjoy (and are often lumped together), and although similar they have some key differences between them. In this blog post, we'll help you to make sense of each - we'll discuss the differing histories of Pilates and yoga, how Pilates differs from yoga in terms of breathing techniques, and what you would typically find at a Pilates studio versus a yoga studio, as well as what makes these disciplines similar too! If you've been considering trying one (or both) out, we hope our simple explanations should help you decide which one of these movement styles is best for your needs.

Did my rehab work?

In 2020 I had shoulder surgery. If we are going to be specific it was a R) shoulder Bankart repair and stabilisation. Now this isn’t something I went into lightly, as a physiotherapist I threw every rehabilitation approach I could at my shoulder to try and manage it without needing surgery. Unfortunately for me it didn’t yield the results I was after and once I felt I had exhausted all of the conservative approaches I opted for surgical management.

I’m choosing to see the silver lining in this experience and use it as a learning tool to be a better clinician. I have rehabilitated many clients following this exact surgery so I was quite familiar with the timelines and what to expect. All of that knowledge and experience prepared me but it was quite challenging being on the other side of the rehab process. Please read on for a few reflections on my experience and hopefully it will help you on your rehabilitation journey.

After weeks of holding, feeding and rocking a baby it's a question that new mothers often ask themselves – how soon can I return to exercise post-partum? When can I start to leave the house and get back to the things I love? The answer, of course, depends on a number of factors, including the type of delivery you had and any potential complications. It's always best to check with your doctor before starting any kind of postnatal exercise routine, but in general, most doctors will give you the all clear around six to twelve weeks post-birth. In this blog post, we'll take a closer look at what you can expect from postnatal exercise – including the different types of exercise that are safe for new mothers and how you can slowly increase the intensity as you progress through your birth rehab.
