Pilates exercises focus on firming and strengthening your core muscles so that the rest of your body can move with greater ease and flexibility.

Pilates is known as a diaphragmatic exercise program. This simply means that all movement should be initiated with your diaphragm. For example: Were you aware that flexing the buttocks restricts the range of motion of your diaphragm? The diaphragm is one of your core muscles, and if the diaphragm is restricted so is your breathing.

The goal of Pilates exercise is to co-ordinate breath with movement. This lengthens and strengthens muscles from the core, greatly improving flexibility.

Energy is what moves us. Our bodies literally use electrical energy to communicate signals between all of our different body systems.

Working the the flow of our natural energies allows Ross to communicate with these systems in their own language, effectively restoring a balanced state – a state where healing occurs most rapidly, optimizing the healthy flow of energy throughout your body.

What is HELLERWORK?
This modality addresses the fascial (soft tissue) system of your body which wraps all your muscle tissue and organs. When the fascia isn’t balanced, muscles are denied moving in their full range of motion. We locate and release fascial (soft tissue) shortening caused by emotional or physical injury, chronic stress or unhealthy habits.

It’s a hands-on, deep tissue work. Hellerwork techniques are very similar to the Rolf Method of Structural Integration but also include deeper and more extensive verbal communication between the client and the practitioner.

What is Structural Integration?

Structural Integration is the term used by expert practitioner Ross Short to describe the balanced use of the techniques of Reiki, Pilates, Whole Body Vibration and the progressive therapy known as Hellerwork.

The principles Ross employs also include the integration of the emotions into the overall therapeutic process. For instance stress and anger can cause us to hold our bodies in positions that strain our muscles and cause pain and discomfort.

As an athlete your best performance is naturally achieved when you are fully balanced and structurally aligned. As you get older, your body repairs itself at a slower rate and proper alignment of your bodily structures through Body-Wize Structural Integration sessions causes pain to cease, and continued adherence to the programs outlined for you by Ross from Body-Wize Structural Integration will prepare you for aging in a natural healthy way.

Introduction of Ross:

At Body-Wize, Ross’s approach is to treat the whole body, eliminating pain for the long-term rather than focusing on a short-term fix or adjustment that will mask the symptoms. Helping you recover quickly and completely from an injury and get back to normal is his primary goal.

At Body-Wize Ross performs a very skillful and effective form of physical therapy that includes four modalities (Hellerwork, Pilates, Whole body vibration and Reiki)

Between his 23+ years experience and being professionally trained by experts in his field, he has achieved a 93% success rate in reducing or eliminating chronic pain for his patients.

If you have had little or no improvement of your chronic pain from your current therapist, it may be time to look into an alternative of the physical therapy you are getting.
