About
Back 2 Basics Pilates and Physiotherapy, located in Maroochy River, is a holistic studio that focuses on core stability and anatomy. The studio was founded by Karen Goncalves, an experienced physiotherapist with over 16 years in private practise. With a passion for helping clients prevent and recover from injuries, Karen aims to teach her clients how to correct their posture and stabilise their spine.
Core stabilisation is not only vital for preventing and treating back injuries but also serves as a strong foundation for all other body movements. Karen's treatments combine a hands-on manual approach with education and exercises. Having worked with triathlon/running clubs and various sporting teams, she has a deep understanding of acute and overuse sporting injuries.
Karen's interest in Pilates has grown in the past 6 years, and she has personally witnessed its benefits. She realised the physical challenges women face during and after pregnancy and found that teaching Pilates during and post-pregnancy helped her avoid many of the complaints her female clients suffer from. She now believes that Pilates is beneficial for everyone, from elite athletes to retirees, as it provides a solid foundation for all movements.
At Back 2 Basics Pilates and Physiotherapy, clients have the opportunity to participate in mat classes with a certified physiotherapist. These small group classes allow for exercises to be tailored to individuals' skill levels and provide corrections of techniques. Mat classes focus on maximising activation of the core muscles and technique.
In addition to mat classes, the studio offers hands-on manual therapy with an experienced physiotherapist. Karen's treatments are evidence-based and may include dry needling. She believes in a holistic approach that addresses the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of well-being.
