Why Your Knee Pain Isn't Just a "Knee Problem"

Aside from the obvious focus on quads, hamstrings, and calves, knee issues are often the "middle man" caught between hip instability and poor walking gait.

It is no coincidence that foot prolapse (flat feet) or hip impingement often appear shortly before knee pain sets in. If the “hinge” (the knee) is being pulled from above and below, it will eventually fail. We use the Reformer to realign your entire lower kinetic chain.

I’ve been having Pilates sessions weekly for about six months with Anastasis for a chronic knee pain issue and have to say the results so far have been very impressive: a notable reduction in frequency of flare ups and a significant improvement in my leg strength. Anastasis is super knowledgeable and takes time to explain things clearly, and I’ve felt he’s been very invested im the task of improving my knees by setting challenging exercises and home practice and frequently checking in to make sure I’m progressing with it, this is much appreciated!
Highly recommended

Anastasis has helped me so much in my journey with knee pain over the past 5 months - he is very knowledgable and holistic in his approach. When I started out I was struggling to walk most days, and can’t believe how far I’ve come! As a happy side effect of the sessions, I’ve also noticed much less back pain in my day to day life and a stronger core! Highly recommend pilates at Perola Bruta.

After 4 months of weekly sessions with Anastasis, I'm feeling physically better in general (which I notice just being out), and my lower back pain has receded to distant memory. The tailored approach meets me where I am at, and adapts to my progress or setbacks.

Anastasis has a great breadth of knowledge, mixing in the mechanics of movements with things like breathwork & flexibility. He's guided me back into a regular gym programme, too - a big personal milestone.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve their physical condition, regardless of coming from lower back pain.

A pain-free living experience

Is Perola Bruta the right place to resolve your Knee Pain issues?

It takes a unique kind of person to truly appreciate the importance of fully recovering from an injury and transforming their body. Most people live with their injuries for life, making only half-hearted attempts to address them. These efforts often serve more as a way to say they “tried” than to truly solve the problem.

At Perola Bruta, we are selective about who we work with because we believe in genuine commitment to change. We understand that only a small percentage of those who visit this page—fewer than 2%—will take the step to schedule an inquiry call. Will you be one of them?

Because the total is more than the sum of the parts…

The Perola Bruta approach: Customised Knee pain care

When the Nervous System is challenged all the exercise in the world will not eliminate pain. Ana uses Craniosacral therapy & Reiki to support healing energetically.

The true test of your Knee having fully recovered will be your ability to perform regular movements (ie. squatting, running, jumping) pain free. Anastasis uses a series of yoga and weight bearing exercises to help his clients transition from the reformer to regular life.
