Vanessa Cooper is qualified physiotherapist with a particular interest in chronic pain and rehabilitation through exercise therapy. She has completed training in Clinical Pilates, Muscle Activation Therapy and is a Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist.

Vanessa has found the combination of hands-on physiotherapy techniques, rehabilitation through corrective exercise, and Pilates, both mat and reformer, to be extremely effective in the treatment of her client's injuries and their long term recovery.

Strengthening and rehabilitation from the inside out.

​

Clinical Pilates forms part of an exercise rehabilitative program which can be used for pain management, return to sport or simply to improve strength with the added benefits that Pilates has to offer.

 

Vanessa’s highly focused approach to treatment and exercise will take you back to the fundamentals of movement.

 

By correctly activating muscles and improving joint mobility followed by strengthening exercises, using mat reformer and gym-based exercise, long term benefits are gained. Correct muscle activation and strengthening of core muscle groups is critical for improving movement patterns so that long term benefits and changes are made.

​

Vanessa has extensive clinical experience and invests considerable time in professional development to stay up to date with the latest research and techniques. She is an avid runner and understands the importance of good rehabilitation and recovery to get back to every day life or the sport we love.
