Excellent advice regarding finding rehab-aware instructors. It sounds like both Yoga and Pilates are invaluable complements to traditional physio, particularly for long-term functional health. Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Definitely recommend finding instructors who understand injury or working with your physio to get specific recommendations. It makes a huge difference in safety and effectiveness.

My physio actually gave me specific yoga poses and Pilates movements to try, so I had a good starting point. It made it easier to integrate because I knew they were approved and tailored to my recovery needs.

For yoga, I started with online resources that offered beginner-friendly and gentle yoga for specific injuries. I also listened intently to my body and avoided anything that caused sharp pain. Self-adaptation was crucial.

I sought out a Pilates instructor who specialized in rehabilitation. That was key. They understood my limitations and could offer modifications, ensuring I didn't push too hard or incorrectly. Highly recommend finding someone with that background.

It sounds like both Yoga and Pilates offer a lot of benefits, particularly for **core strength, body awareness, and controlled movement**, which are all foundations of good rehab and injury prevention. Did you work with instructors who were familiar with rehab needs, or did you adapt practices yourself?

I found Pilates particularly useful for cyclists, especially for strengthening the glutes and core, which are crucial for power and preventing knee issues. The focus on **stabilization** was paramount. I still do Pilates regularly as part of my injury prevention and performance routine.
