Beyond Traditional Treatment
We are excited to share fantastic news about Health Architects SA Co-Founder, Physical Therapist, and accredited Functional Medicine Practitioner Jenny Hague. Jenny continues to expand her already impressive resume and skillset by completing two high-level courses: Clinical Pilates and Cranio-Sacral Therapy (CST) Level 2
This advanced training means we can offer you even more specialized and comprehensive care, rooted in the philosophy that long-term health is built through connected, personalised support. Jenny and the team act as your personal Health Architects, designing a holistic plan that addresses the root causes of your discomfort, not just the symptoms.
Clinical Pilates: Mastering Movement and Core Stability for Lasting Relief
Modern Clinical Pilates (MCP) is much more than general exercise; it’s a powerful tool focused on retraining how your body moves and achieving dynamic joint stability. This training helps Jenny identify and fix abnormal movement patterns that might be causing long-term issues.
Finding Your Foundation: Retraining the Body's Deep Stability Muscles.
We know that conditions like chronic low back pain (CLBP) usually follow an episodic path, meaning pain flares up and subsides over many years. Traditional physical therapy (PT) often relies on short, intense bursts of treatment (like 12 visits over 4-8 weeks). However, this is often insufficient to address the long-term nature of chronic issues, which require repetitive, substantial stimuli to truly "reset" the nervous system and rebuild muscle strength.
Movement That Lasts: Why Patient-Preferred Activities are Key to Chronic Pain Management.
Pilates and Yoga are evidence-based, patient-preferred physical activities that help maximize your long-term commitment to exercise. This type of continuous, active approach, called LSSM, is a better fit for the long-term, episodic nature of chronic pain.
The Power of Partnership: Why Longitudinal Care Means Lower Costs and Better Outcomes.
When patients receive continuous care from the same physical therapist (longitudinal continuity), studies show they are three times more likely to be completely satisfied with their care. For patients dealing with low back pain (LBP), greater continuity with a single PT provider is also associated with a decreased likelihood of needing high-cost interventions like lumbar surgery and is associated with lower total health care costs.
Hybrid Health: Seamless Care, In-Person and Remote
We deliver this specialized exercise philosophy through our Hybrid Care model. This blend of in-person sessions and virtual support utilizes technology to remotely monitor progress and adherence, enhancing accessibility and making it convenient to integrate therapeutic exercise into your daily routine (TeleRehabilitation).
CranioSacral Therapy: Gentle Hands-On Relief for Your Body's Deepest Tensions.
Calming the Command Center: How CST Supports Your Brain and Spinal Cord Health. (CST) is a hands-on, very gentle method developed by Dr. John E. Upledger. CST evaluates and enhances the craniosacral system, which involves the protective membranes and fluid surrounding your brain and spinal cord.
Relieving Deep Tension: This complementary therapy works to release tensions held deep within the body, which helps to reduce pain and relieve dysfunction.
Boosting Performance: By supporting the body's natural and inherent healing processes, CST is used to improve whole-body health and performance and can act as a preventative measure to bolster resistance to disease.
Advanced Expertise: Completing Level 2 training emphasizes making evidence-informed clinical decisions and fosters the critical thinking skills needed to achieve the best possible outcomes for clients.
Integrated Care: The Power of Partnership
This continuous, cohesive relationship ensures that your path to wellness is managed by a dedicated expert, providing you with better outcomes, higher satisfaction, and reduced overall healthcare costs.
In simple terms, think of how we do things like this:
“If your health were a complex garden, our Functional Medicine approach allows us to test the soil (your internal chemistry, diet, and lifestyle) to find the deep issues preventing growth. Clinical Pilates training acts as the structured trellis system, ensuring that everything (your core and movement patterns) is perfectly supported and trained to withstand stress. Finally, Cranio-Sacral Therapy is the gentle, targeted rain, calming the underlying nervous system (the roots) to promote deep, sustained healing and optimal function.
