THERAPEUTIC PILATES
One-on-one individualized care for clients looking to integrate pilates principles into their wellness care plans. Therapeutic pilates is provided by a licensed physical therapist.
Your session may include mat work and the use of the equipment at the studio's yoga wall. The use of banded or spring tension can assist and resist movement making this a great class for all levels, beginner to advanced.
This equipment also gives the body proprioceptive feedback, which stimulates the postural system, changing the way you feel and think about how you move.
