Are you moving poorly because you are in pain, or are you in pain because you are moving poorly?
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is the heart of the Radiant Studio. Sarah is one of only a few physiotherapists in Perth who have studied the ConnectTherapy method and completed the ConnectTherapy Series with Dr Linda Joy Lee. Sarah will use a variety of unique physiotherapy assessment techniques and methodology during your sessions. These aim to find not only the body region driving your pain but also how this affects your movement across all areas of your life.
Treatment techniques incorporating the ConnectTherapy techniques along with traditional manual therapy, muscle energy techniques, muscle releases, dry needling and Kinesio Taping are all available.
Extended consults may be required to be assessed using the ConnectTherapy TM methodology.
For a detailed explanation of this model go to Dr LJ Lee’s curriculum website

These physiotherapy skills are then combined with exercise prescription incorporating targeted strengthening exercises plus repertoire from Sarah’s Pilates Studio degree, to give you all the tools you need to manage your rehabilitation and strengthening program away from the clinic.
Studio Physiotherapy Sessions
The Group Physiotherapy Exercise Sessions are conducted in our Pilates Studio. Your program will be designed with an in clinic focus as well as a home based focus. We have at our disposal fitballs, a Cross Trainer, a Stationary Bicycle, various Bosu’s and wobble boards, therabands and free weights. Sessions will also incorporate some of the Pilates equipment as required. These can be booked as Duo Sessions with up to two people.
You will receive a full assessment of your movement strategies over the sessions plus a physiotherapy bio-mechanical assessment. We will combine ConnectTherapy TM methodology ( learn more here ) and Pilates principles with our Physiotherapy techniques to design and implement a program specifically suited to your needs. This is one of our core values at Radiant Pilates and Physiotherapy, that movement is an integral part of your prescriptive physiotherapy treatment plan. It empowers you to feel that you can predict which movements may be aggravating your pain, alter these specific movements, and then be able to reassess to see if you have modify your movement patterns to eliminate or reduce pain altogether.
