Pilates Classes for Rehab are a great complement to physical therapy. Our experienced instructors work with each client to develop an individualized program of exercises that address their specific needs and goals.

Rehabilitative Pilates addresses muscular imbalances, which often cause injuries. This is accomplished through a focus on unilateral movements, meaning that you will work one side of the body at a time to help build balanced muscles on both sides. This will also help to improve flexibility and decrease the chance of injury in the future by reducing tightness of the musculature.

Pilates Classes for Rehab: Supportive and Effective Treatments

In addition, Pilates strengthens the small stabilizing muscles that support the spine and the joints. These muscles are important for keeping the joints mobile and strong, but when injured, they can become switched off. Pilates exercises (particularly those focused on the head and neck) are designed to get these important muscles firing properly again.

Another benefit of regular pilates is that it improves circulation. This is critical for getting oxygen to the affected areas of the body and allowing the injured tissues to mend promptly.

Lastly, Pilates can also reduce pain associated with knee and hip arthritis, as well as improve the strength of your bones. This is because it helps to increase bone density stimulates muscle growth and can help to prevent osteoporosis. This effect is even more pronounced if you do a combination of regular Pilates and weight-bearing exercises like walking or running.
