Services
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services integrate Pilates principles with traditional rehabilitation techniques to address musculoskeletal conditions. We develop personalized treatment plans that improve mobility, reduce pain, and restore functional ability through movement-based therapy. With over 30 years of clinical experience, we specialize in treating chronic conditions and post-surgical recovery while emphasizing patient education for long-term self-management.
Pilates Instruction
We offer Pilates instruction focused on core stability, flexibility, and postural improvement using specialized apparatus. Our sessions enhance body awareness through controlled movements that emphasize proper breathing techniques and spinal alignment. Both individual and small-group instruction options are available to accommodate different learning preferences and fitness levels.
Scolio Pilates
This specialized program combines Pilates with scoliosis-specific corrections using 3-dimensional movement patterns. We employ elongation techniques, breathing exercises, and wedge-assisted positioning to improve spinal alignment and reduce curvature-related discomfort. The method focuses on creating sustainable postural changes through targeted strengthening and neuromuscular re-education.
Osteoporosis Program
Our osteoporosis program utilizes Pilates and yoga-based exercises to improve bone density and prevent fractures. The evidence-based approach includes weight-bearing movements, posture correction, and balance training to reduce fall risk. We incorporate Dr. Fishman's research-proven yoga protocol for measurable improvements in spinal health and overall bone strength.
Pink Ribbon Program
This post-cancer rehabilitation program addresses mobility limitations and lymphatic issues following breast cancer treatment. We focus on restoring shoulder range of motion, preventing lymphedema, and improving functional capacity through gentle strengthening and stretching exercises. The program also emphasizes energy restoration and psychological well-being during the recovery process.
