The Effect of Pilates and Orthopedic Therapy

Our clinic is for active and motivated adults who are looking for long-term solutions to resolve their injury, improve sports performance, and achieve optimum quality of movement in their daily life. We combine pilates based exercise with physical therapy to create an effective rehabilitation program. Due to the extensive amount of time we spend with our patients and integrated rehabilitation approach treating the entire body and not the body part in question, we are an out-of-network provider and do not bill medical insurance. We will provide you with a detailed superbill that you may submit to your insurance for reimbursement.

Pilates offers a wide range of benefits to clients, encompassing improvements in physical fitness and mental well-being. Pilates uses precise movements, breathing techniques, and concentration to build strength inside out, promoting elongated muscles, improved posture, and strong core. Additionally, pilates reinforces mind-body connection and helps re-establish impaired neuromotor pathways necessary for successful pain-free musculoskeletal functioning. Your pilates session will be carefully designed by our licensed physical therapist, taking into consideration your body concerns.

Core Strength & Stability

Benefits

  • We focus on restoring recruitment of your small “inner core” muscles, emphasizing neutral pelvic alignment to promote spinal stability and optimal postural alignment.

Decreased Joint Stress

Benefits

  • Pilates equipment is unique in a sense that it allows us to work in gravity minimized positions, decreasing axial loading on the spine and peripheral joints. This creates a positive, pain-free exercise experience, leading to rapid gains in strength and flexibility.

Enhanced balance & Coordination

Benefits

  • Pilates exercises often involve slow, complex, and multi-directional movements that challenge unilateral control and spinal stability under various loads. This trains coordination and proprioception, leading to improved body awareness and balance.

Conditions We Treat

Neck Pain, Bulging discs in the spine, shoulder impingement, rotator cuff tear, low back pain, sciatica, labral tears in shoulders and hips, post-surgical rehabilitation, meniscal tear, patellofemoral syndrome, IT Band syndrome, ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis, shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, foot pain, bursitis, and many more.

 

Who Can Benefit From Pilates?

Anyone can benefit from pilates. In our practice, we utilize Pilates as a bridge between rehabilitation and return to athletic activities. Perhaps you have recovered from an injury and are nervous to jump right back into running, biking, skiing, lifting, or simply returning to your work-out routine. Pilates would be an excellent transition to help you feel strong and regain trust in your body again.
