Pilates is starting to show up more in Physical therapy offices, physiotherapy offices, pelvic floor specialists, Chiropractic offices, and even hospitals. With Pilates, you do not need heavy weights or high repetitions to see and feel the results. Pilates mainly focuses on the individual need for adequate mobility throughout the whole body to increase strength, stability, balance, agility, good posture, and functionality. Pilates can be a short-term and long-term solution for chronic pain and acute injuries. With it, you prepare for more challenging movements with the goal of not being injured with daily movements or during your weekend warrior activities.
Pilates exercises can be performed on a mat or a piece of equipment called a Reformer. Exercises can be combined and moved to a table called the Cadillac or a pilates chair. The reformer helps assist the movements to get the clients out of pain or incorrect movement patterns that most likely caused the injury in the first place. Mat exercises are then usually implemented for home exercise to continue their rehab and prevent further injury.
Muscular imbalances, poor posture, poor sitting posture, and poor walking, running, overuse, or repetitive injuries can develop over time and what we label as normal wear and tear. The most common injuries are to the wrist, back, shoulder, hips, and knees. Sooooo..... pretty much our whole body, right. Pilates is an excellent way to prepare our body for everyday activities as well as for sports or other strenuous forms of exercise. It complements other training well. Pilates helps rehab injuries and also helps prevent them.
Pilates is non-weight bearing, the whole-body system works out depending on the injury, weakness, and pain. Lana has seen great obstacles overcome with her clients during her Pilates practice. Clients exhibit conditions like chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, surgeries, pregnancy, and even wedding dress preparation. Lana often states how hip health starts at the feet. "If we lose mobility in our feet, it can affect our hips and pelvic floor, and then it works its way up to the shoulders and neck."
Founded by Joesph Pilates' are the 6 principles: Breath, Concentration, Control, Precision, Centre, and Flow. All of these principles are applied to each session, don't worry, you will feel each one. When you create an active movement practice. When you are able to take action and participate in your treatment, you learn to break your pain cycle.

That's where there is magic in movement and movement is medicine. Individual private sessions can start at $85, semi-privates (2 people) can start at $40 each person, and group classes start at $25.
