Improving Your Body Shape – An Effective Algorithm

When it comes to improving body shape, there’s no need for crash diets or extreme workouts. At Health Point Physiotherapy, we believe in sustainable, evidence-based strategies that not only shape your body but also improve your posture, strength, and overall wellbeing.

Here’s our effective, physiotherapist-approved algorithm to help you safely and successfully improve your body shape.

🔷 Step 1:

Full Body Diagnostic Assessment

Before jumping into any fitness plan, we begin with a thorough full body assessment. Aches and pains, poor posture and weak core (just to name a few) can make it hard to follow a proper exercise routine and can make even a fit body appear out of shape. A professional diagnostic assessment helps us identify the cause of existing problems and screen for imbalances and joint restrictions that may be holding you back.

What's included in the assessment:

  • postural analysis
  • range of motion of the spine and joints
  • muscle strength
  • ligament integrity
  • respiratory (lung) function
  • weight parameters (BMI, percentage of body weight and body water, girths)
  • core assessment using Real Time Ultrasound (done as part of the first Clinical Pilates session)

🔷 Step 2:

Goal-Oriented Planning

Everybody is different, and so are your goals. Hence there should never be a "generic, one-size-fits-all" program. Your program should take into account the outcomes of the assessment as well as your individual goals. Whether you’re aiming for a stronger core, leaner legs, or better posture, we tailor a program specifically for you.

🔷 Step 3:

Clinical Pilates

This is our secret weapon. Clinical Pilates is low-impact, safe for all ages, and highly effective for reshaping your body. It helps tone and lengthen muscles while correcting posture and building deep core strength.

Results you’ll notice:

  • Flatter stomach
  • Improved posture
  • Longer, leaner muscles
  • Improved general muscle strength
  • Reduced aches and pains

🔷 Step 6:

Ongoing Support & Reassessment

We don’t believe in “set and forget.” Regular reassessments allow us to fine-tune your plan, celebrate your wins, and keep you moving forward.

🟢 Final Thoughts:

Improving your body shape is more than just looking good—it’s about moving well, feeling confident, and supporting your long-term health. Whether you’re just starting out or returning after injury, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
