Pilates for Rehabilitation
Pilates is an effective method of individuals with any musculoskeletal injury or disorder. Pilates targets the whole body, correcting muscle asymmetries and weaknesses, which are often the cause of pain. Our exercises are tailored to each individual, and goals are established to meet specific post rehabilitation needs. Our Pilates teacher will evaluate your posture, movement, alignment, and body mechanics to understand the nature of your injury, pain, and dysfunction. The goal is to alleviate pain, increase range of motion, enhance joint stability, maintain healthy movement patterns, and correct abnormal postural habits to balance and strengthen muscles, thus improving overall function for daily living.
Pilates as rehabilitation is also great preventative or alternative medicine - keep yourself strong today and avoid injuries tomorrow.
Pilates Rehabilitation can benefit injuries and disorders such as, but not limited to:
- Chronic Neck & Back Pain
- Scoliosis,

Our Pilates Teacher, Tuula, has Physical Therapy background and years of experience in rehabilitation. Her teaching style is very personal, therapeutic and holistic. It is important to note that most Pilates instructors have not been trained or have very little actual knowledge about rehabilitation or holistic approach.
Note also that post rehab Pilates is not intended to take the place of medical treatment, but to complete it.
