Core Health: Pilates + Physical therapy
Everyone is looking for a solution to their aches and pains. Back pain, knee pain, and neck pain. These ailments are not only nagging but in many cases prevent us from doing what we love.
What if we had a proven, natural solution?
Answer: Pilates + Physical therapy. It’s a beautiful marriage.
Pilates is a system of exercises that teaches you how to use the correct muscles necessary for ideal posture and core stability, how to strengthen relatively weak muscles, lengthen short muscles and improve joint flexibility in natural fluid movements.
When the Pilate’s principles and exercises are used within the scope of physical therapy, something amazing happens. People begin to feel better. All sorts of ailments can be rehabilitated this way. From neck pain to back pain, from acute pain to chronic pain, Pilates is a very powerful tool when used correctly.
As a physical therapist, I specialize in movement patterns,
therapeutic exercise, and treatment of acute and chronic orthopedic injuries. I
love to integrate Pilate’s into my treatment belt. Pilates is a very effective way
to bounce back to the activities you love, and it’s also fabulous if you want
to maintain or advance your level of fitness. If you have any of the following
conditions, please consider giving physical therapy + Pilates a trial.
