We tailor our work to each individual
Individual exercises
DNS
DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization)
The exercises are based on developmental kinesiology in humans. From the age of 3 months to 1 year, every healthy baby develops according to specific neurological movement patterns. We apply these patterns and positions to adults in order to re-establish disrupted patterns of breathing and movement, and thereby stabilize the trunk, which is crucial for the proper functioning of the musculoskeletal system.
By restoring intra-abdominal pressure and creating awareness of the correct patterns in developmental positions, the patient gains confidence in performing movements, achieves balance in muscle work, and prevents the occurrence of injuries and pain.
Individual Exercises
Stott Pilates Reformer
The Reformer is the most effective Pilates equipment we use for recreational and rehabilitative purposes.
What stands out about the Reformer is its multifunctionality, allowing exercises to be performed in various positions with additional props and their many variations.
Exercising on the Reformer provides the best of the Pilates method: length, strength, endurance, and flexibility of muscles, along with a balance of mind and body.
Each training session is individualized and tailored specifically to you and your level of fitness, so both beginners and advanced practitioners, as well as athletes accustomed to intense training, will enjoy using the Reformer.
At Ortospina, we offer individual sessions on the Reformer or paired sessions, all under the supervision of physiotherapist and certified Stott Pilates instructor Anamarija Ladašić.
Individual Exercises
Exercises for Scoliosis by Katharina Schroth
The Schroth method is a world-renowned conservative 3D therapy for people with spinal deformities (scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis). It consists of a specific set of exercises, mobilization, and positioning, which is based on the concept of rotational breathing.
The exercises are tailored specifically to the individual and modified depending on the type and severity of the curve. The goals of this method are to reduce progression, achieve trunk symmetry, and attain static-dynamic postural stability and control. To achieve these goals, it is important to follow the individualized exercise program daily and apply it in everyday activities.
These excercises are usually reccomended to children and adolescents aged 10 to 18 years, when it is possible to impact scoliosis the most, but this method can be beneficial to adults as well.
In Ortospina, we conduct the Schroth method under the surveillence of a licenced Schroth therapist.
Group Exercises
Medicinal Recreation
Recreation in smaller groups (max 7) is meant for those who want to exercise primarily for health and prevention.
Under the supervision of a physiotherapist, participants stretch their bodies and strengthen their muscles using their own movements and props (which vary with each session) within one hour, twice a week.
The exercises take place in the morning and afternoon.
Pilates
The effects of Pilates exercises are well known, and we offer sessions in smaller groups twice a week, in the morning and evening, for those who enjoy this type of exercise.
