We Are an Awesome Team of Rehabilitative Pilates Lovers
Rehabilitative Pilates is putting the body back together again after it has experienced an injury, surgery, or suffers from a chronic condition. Through a series of body conditioning exercises that builds strength, flexibility, coordination, and endurance, we are able to correct inefficient movement patterns that are created when the body suffers a trauma. By emphasizing focus, proper breathing, correct spinal and pelvic alignment, we create efficient movement patterns allowing the body to return to a homeostasis, pain free state. Unique to Pilates Design Studio, our treatment also incorporates neural plasticity work through Z Health Performance Solutions. By mixing this into our treatment, we find a more comprehensive healing process where the injuries do not repeat themselves. People who do Pilates regularly feel they have better posture, are less prone to injury, and experience better overall health.
