Body movement classes are an integral part of our recommended treatment program, complementing the basic therapy aimed at restoring function of the injured part of your body.

Body movement classes help your whole body to:

• Regain its former grace, posture, strength and flexibility
• Become more coordinated by sensing the relationship between all of its parts
• Restore optimal communication between your nervous system and your muscles
• Integrate its physical, emotional and mental aspects

Pilates may be taken individually or in small groups. Please check our Class Schedule for upcoming classes.

Pilates

Pilates is an anatomically based approach to the mind-body exercise method pioneered by Joseph Pilates.

Systematic mat and equipment-based exercises refine body awareness and balances strength with flexibility. By integrating the deep muscles of the torso and strengthening from the "inside out," Pilates will leave you looking toned, feeling revitalized and moving with ease.

Pilates enhances cardio-vascular exercise, athletic training and rehabilitation.

Pilates offers several important benefits:

• Greater mind-body awareness
• Core stability and body balance
• Enhanced performance (e.g. in dance, yoga, running, tennis, skiing, swimming)
• Increased flexibility, agility, mobility
• Relief of pain and tension
• Toned abdominals, improved posture and increased circulation

Pilates is offered in private or semi-private sessions on the reformer, or in group floor classes.
