CLASSICAL PILATES

Why do Pilates classes?

Do you have pain? Have you tried different passive therapies with little success? Pilates might be the form of rehabilitation that finally changes your life.

For some odd evolutionary reason, it's difficult to engage our core properly. Imagine if it worked all day long to support you, simply because you had shown your core stabilizers how to engage! The result is less pain and compression in our spines and all joints.

Pilates tones muscles and balances joints using a mat or other equipment like the Reformer. It stimulates circulation through facilitating muscular flexibility, joint range of motion and musculoskeletal alignment. In addition, Pilates promotes new neuromuscular patterns, heightened body awareness, and more precise coordination. This combination of benefits can prevent re-injury and reduce, or even alleviate, chronic pain and immobility.

Pilates is one of the most effective ways of combatting osteoporosis. This movement method is one of the most effective tool for injury rehabilitation because it strengthens the body in decompression and helps correct joint imbalances. As you progress, you will become aware of bracing patterns and the poor posture habits that we all have, which will lead you to understand how to deal with incorrect movement in everyday life.

Mat and reformer classes are available, either separate from other treatments offered, or in conjunction with a massage therapy appointment. Call or text to schedule a session. 250.307.5566
