Entrance Assessment for Beginner and Advanced Pilates and Yoga Clients

Every single one of us is different, right from our metabolic typing, to body type, to our muscular strength and endurance.

We recommend that everyone who comes to the studio enters through a private session to ensure that we are reaching your goals and expectations, we can then guide you and help you to achieve them. “If you don’t know where you are going, how you gonna get there”. We offer four assessments to chose from ranging from 40 mins to four hours. 

4 hour ‘Get out of pain – The Real McCoy’ £300 Full kinectic chain assessment

 The real McCoy movement analysis program leaves no stone unturned compiling of a four-stage program and assessment. This is for clients who want someone to look at the root course of their symptoms and also give them an advanced program design to help achieve their goals and expectations.

Everyone from professional athletes, yoga teachers to office workers and pain clinic clients would suit this. We like to take the challenging patients that every other clinic is struggling with or has failed with.

This is for those clients which have tried every health practitioner going and have spent a small fortune prescriptive drugs and possibly even had operations or been referred from the hospital pain clinic. You will have suffered from pain or a medical condition for over a year and have constantly been treated for symptoms rather than looking at the cause. Your condition can be anything from sciatica, prolapsed disc, ME, MS, IBS, addiction, inflammation (cancer, arthritis, bursitis, etc.) to a hip replacement.

We spend time taking you through a series of CHEK assessments and questionnaires, which look at your lifestyle including gastrointestinal, liver, endocrine. Glucose regulation, cardiovascular, mood, immune system, urological, musculoskeletal, CNS, motor – skills and brain. Your sleep, hydration, nutrition, fungus and parasites, movement, stress (hormonal, environmental, physical) is taken into account too.

We take you through a full postural analysis (static and dynamic) including spinal measurements and evaluate what needs to be stretched and strengthened in the body. We then take you some more physical tests gently moving the body through flexion, extension and rotation as we learn blockages and barriers have built up to avoid or cause pain. Including Hippocrates and CHEK principles of Dr.Diet, Dr.Quiet, Dr.Movement and Dr. Happiness.

The quality of our tissues will depend on the quality of our movement. You the client will know what feels right for your body and we will both understand what needs to be stretched, strengthened and areas of weakness. This includes a full CHEK assessment on your sleep, hydration, fungus and parasites, food patterns of what and when you eat and stress levels. We also measure your spine and then photograph you on a chart so you can see clearly where you are and where you need to go, and finally we take you through a series of 8 core tests.

The four stages are S.O.A.P:

1. Subjective: We look at a full subjective assessment including chronological order of events, current symptoms e.g. position of pain, positions of comfort, time of day and night, the treatments attempted and the resist obtained.
2. Objective: We then do an objective assessment, what you did in our session e.g. evaluation or stretching or exercise program, measurements including length tension relationships.
3. Assessment: We then follow with an assessment, what do we think is wrong or suspect to be the problem, your opinion of the client’s status. We take clients through infant development to primal movement patterns and over 50 length tension relationships.
4. Plan: What we plan to do, your treatment plan, associated referrals, and nutrition and metabolic typing. You will then have your own four-month advanced program design programmed put together containing eight programs, four corrective stretch/mobility program and four periodization tables. The four-month plan is then taught in your six or twelve month one to one program. This ensures that your technique is there, you have the coaching facilities to reach your goals/targets and most importantly that you are held accountable.

We also assess:

• Health History
• Metabolic Typing (discovers an individual’s macro-nutrient ratios: carbs to proteins to fats)
• Comprehensive Health Appraisal (discovers imbalances in the body’s systems: muscular, hormonal, limbic)
• Lifestyle Evaluation (discovers what external stressors a client has and how it is affecting their bodies systems, i.e stress stimulates sympathetic nervous system=poor digestion among other things)
• Physiological Load and Daily Readiness Assessments (discovers amount of stress in musculoskeletal, hormonal, and limbic systems and what strategies will reduce and bring about a healthy balance)
• Food and Sleep Diary (establishing eating habits, food intolerances and discovering circadian rhythms)
• Digestive Health (processed foods, sugar, flour and dehydration, i.e. is your digestive system healthy or do you have a fungal or parasitic infection?)
• If needed: toxic home/office checklist, gluten, candida questionnaire, neurotransmitter questionnaire, food intolerances, metabolic lab testing on detoxification pathways
