Clinical pilates is an adapted version of pilates by healthcare professionals to facilitate rehabilitation, injury prevention, and optimal movement patterning. The central principles explore the concepts of concentration, control, centering, precision, flow and breathing. Billable under physiotherapy for extended health benefits.

Pilates may be performed through mat or with larger pieces of equipment including a reformer as pictured above. Mat-based pilates uses body weight or small equipment to help support you in the movements and provide feedback. Whereas the reformer is a spring-based piece of equipment that uses pulleys, platforms and a carriage which can provide additional variety, resistance and sense of movement.


Custom Orthotics

When you make an orthotics appointment, you will undergo a Biomechanical Assessment Report. For this, a professional will make some observations to decide the best custom prescription for the patient.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through your skin at strategic points on your body. A key component of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is most commonly used to treat pain. Increasingly, it is being used for overall wellness, including stress management.

Traditional Chinese medicine explains acupuncture as a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force — known as chi or qi (chee) — believed to flow through pathways (meridians) in your body. By inserting needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe that your energy flow will re-balance.

In contrast, many Western practitioners view the acupuncture points as places to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. Some believe that this stimulation boosts your body's natural painkillers.

I’m fluent in both English and Tagalog, and I’m passionate about providing compassionate, personalized care that respects each person’s unique background and needs.
