My name is Berenice Allen and I’m fascinated by the human body.
This interest is was what led me to don a lab coat and spend hours inhaling formaldehyde fumes while freezing in the Anatomy labs of UNSW. Once I completed my B.Sc., I moved on to do a Masters in Chiropractic at Macquarie University. Here, the rooms were warmer and the bodies I got to work with were alive and in one piece.
After finishing six years of study in Sydney, I moved to ‘Fit As A Fiddle’ on the Gold Coast in 2002 and have been treating musculoskeletal injuries as a registered Chiropractor ever since. I employ a variety of techniques, including spinal adjustments, deep tissue massage and Muscle Energy Technique (MET). My approach involves both passive (patient receives treatment) and active measures (patient performs exercises and makes changes to the ergonomics of his/her environment). The ultimate aim is to reduce pain and improve function.
Understandably, being introduced to Pilates has been a very exciting experience. Any exercise has the potential to work your body hard, but Pilates is a smart work out. The core stability achieved through the application of Pilates has the potential both to prevent and rehabilitate injuries. I’m amazed at the level of body awareness this method can provide and hope to pass this on to people both through my clinic and by instructing Pilates classes.
