Pilates Based Conditioning

Pilates (pi-LAH-teez) exercise, performed since the 1920’s is undergoing a surge in popularity. It is a comprehensive, whole body system of exercises designed to balance the body’s muscles and create a flexible, strong able body.

There are over 500 controlled, precise movements designed to strengthen and stretch without adding bulk. Each exercise requires concentration, always working with the body and mind. Exercises focus on the core muscles including those in the abdominal cavity and back which support good posture, and bring ease and power to walking, lifting, dancing and sport activities. It will also improve breathing and circulation to the internal organs. After one workout you will feel taller and more elongated with a feeling of balance throughout your whole body. Consistent workouts will bring greater range of motion and the ability to maintain correct posture with ease.

All our trainers take continuing education yearly, either from attending workshops or conferences.  Right now we are working with clients who have:

Parkinson's disease                                Scoliosis
Bulging/ Herniated Discs                       Spinal Stenosis
Hip/Knee Replacement                           Fibromyalgia
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome                   Osteoporosis
 

We take great care in matching your needs with the trainer that is best suited to work with you.  We have also worked with Physical Therapists and Orthopedic Doctors to set up programs on toning and stretching addressing your specific needs.  Each program is individually tailored and monitored.

                

 

Pilates For Osteoporosis

All our trainers have taken continuing education in this area. There are bone building exercises that are recommended by medical professionals as being weight bearing and appropriate for those with this silent disease.  Pilates can be an excellent way to increase your bone density. As much as 20% of bone can be built in one year of following a Pilates program that we recommend. Call the studio and talk personally with one of our trainers. Each program is individually tailored.
