The Pilates Studio

Pilates is a non-passive therapy which utilizes specialized equipment that offers resistance for muscle strengthening while balancing muscular force at the joint. It is highly effective anytime during the recovery/healing process and can cut rehabilitation time significantly.

How Does Pilates Assist in Rehabilitation?
Pilates addresses specific site injury while rehabilitating the entire body to support the healing process. Breath work is integral during the sessions, as oxygenation and circulation combine to accelerate the healing process. Pilates guides the body in its recovery process a variety of ways:

• Pilates decompresses the neck and back while addressing the deterioration of joint range of motion and muscular flexibility that most clients experience from trauma.
• Pilates stimulates circulation while facilitating muscular flexibility, joint range of motion and proper musculoskeletal alignment.
• Pilates promotes new neuromuscular patterns, heightened body awareness and more precise coordination and endurance – assisting in decreasing pain levels.
• Pilates exercises assist in the reconnection of the brain and body, promoting faster healing.

Pilates pre- and post-surgery
Pilates sessions prepare clients before needed surgery, and are powerfully effective in shortening rehabilitation time after surgery as well. Pilates increases the body-mind connection allowing the body to be in a healthier state before surgery, and assists injured clients in releasing the trauma held in their body from their accident.

A Long Term Solution
Pilates is often the most effective tool for injury rehabilitation because it addresses and strengthens the body as a cohesive unit. As clients become stronger, they also become aware of their bracing patterns and imbalances. This leads clients to understand how to deal with incorrect movement and bracing in their every day lives.



Many clients state that Pilates helps their pain consistently diminish, and they feel a steady return to their pre-injury status. At this point, Pilates helps prevent re-injury and becomes a fitness routine to maintain their progress.
