Orthosports Medical Center

The Sports Medicine Specialists on Jumeira Beach Road, Dubai for: Orthosports now has a Pilates Instructor. Julia Powdrill who is a trained physiotherapist will be offering both individual and group sessions. Pilates is an exercise programme which focuses on the activation of core muscles to improve strength, flexibility and body control. It is great for rehabilitation after spinal and sports injuries. If you are suffering or have suffered from back or neck pain or just keep picking up minor injuries Pilates may be the exercise for you. Research has found that people who have suffered with back pain almost always have a decreased activation of the certain abdominal muscles. These are vital for spinal protection and control during all positions and movements and lack of strength can be the reason for recurrent back pain and sporting injury.

Vertigo can be a very disabling condition, involving the room spinning, nausea and vomiting. Vertigo can be caused due to a wide range of problems. Physiotherapists specifically trained in this area can assess to ascertain which type of vertigo is present and treat or refer on accordingly. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo [BPPV} accounts for 40 to 50 % of all vertigo cases and responds remarkably well to specific techniques that the Physiotherapist administers. Often patients who have suffered for months have their symptoms resolved after just one or two sessions. Beverley Strathearn, Physiotherapist has postgraduate training in vertigo management .
