Movement is powerful, and it can be a key part of managing real-life conditions ❤️

Our co-owner Erica shares how Pilates at Movement Med can support clients navigating:

✔️ Parkinson’s — improving core stability, gait, and balance
✔️ Vertigo — building control through foot stability + core engagement
✔️ Vision impairments — strengthening the body to support orientation, mobility, and confidence

Through a medical fitness approach, we focus on meeting you where you are, helping you move safely, feel stronger, and stay steady in your day-to-day life.

Because Pilates isn’t just exercise, it’s a tool for better function, balance, and independence 🙌

Your low back shouldn’t be doing all the work

Our instructor, Anita, walks you through a simple foam roller exercise to safely build thoracic spine extension, without dumping into your low back.

💡 What to focus on:
✔️ Shoulders come back first, then lift
✔️ Engage your core to protect your low back
✔️ Open through the chest + collarbones
✔️ Gently squeeze the shoulder blades together

The goal isn’t height, it’s control + intention. When done right, you’ll feel the movement where it matters most: your upper back, not your low back.

Move slow, stay connected, and prioritize quality over range! Book a pilates session with Anita today! Link in bio!

Movement can be medicine—especially when it comes to supporting the nervous system.

Our instructor, Erica breaks down how Pilates can play a powerful role in managing Parkinson’s Disease:

✔️ Build core strength to support posture + reduce strain on the neck and low back
✔️ Improve alignment to counteract forward rounding and chest collapse
✔️ Train balance + leg control for safer, more confident movement
✔️ Practice gait training to walk stronger, longer, and with more stability

At Movement Med, we focus on helping you move with confidence, control, and longevity, no matter where you’re starting.

Because better movement isn’t just about exercise, it’s about maintaining independence and quality of life 🙌
