Our Expertise
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is proven to improve strength & stability, enhance mobility, reduce edema, and address muscular imbalances that can lead to pain and movement deficits. Physical therapists have a unique understanding of the biomechanics of the human body and use their expertise in getting their patients back to their previous level of function using a combination of modalities, therapeutic exercise and soft tissue manipulation.

History of Pilates
​
Joseph Pilates first introduced his exercise methods during WWI to non-ambulatory soldiers who found themselves weak and bedbound. Pilates attached springs to their hospital beds encouraging assisted, low impact, lower extremity strengthening, which allowed for speedier recoveries and eventually led way to one of Pilates’ most well-known pieces of equipment: the Reformer. In later years, Joseph Pilates brought his training to the United States and branded a method of exercise rooted in rehabilitation with the intention of improving overall fitness, health, and wellbeing.
