Services
Physical Therapy
Our physical therapy services combine traditional rehabilitation techniques with Pilates principles to address musculoskeletal conditions. We develop individualized treatment plans focusing on improving mobility, reducing pain, and restoring functional movement patterns. With decades of clinical experience, we treat chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, and preventive care needs through hands-on therapy and patient education.
Pink Ribbon Program
This specialized program supports breast cancer survivors through targeted exercise therapy addressing post-treatment challenges. We focus on regaining shoulder mobility, preventing lymphedema, and restoring posture while promoting overall wellness. The program incorporates strength training, breathwork, and mental wellness components to help patients rebuild confidence and physical resilience after cancer treatment.
Scolio Pilates
Our Scolio Pilates method uses 3-dimensional movement patterns to address spinal curvature and postural imbalances. Through breathwork, elongation techniques, and specialized equipment, we help patients improve spinal alignment and muscular symmetry. This evidence-based approach focuses on creating sustainable postural changes while reducing pain associated with scoliosis.
Osteoporosis Program
Our osteoporosis management program combines safe Pilates exercises with educational components on nutrition and bone density preservation. We teach modified movements that improve posture, reduce fracture risk, and enhance overall mobility. The program incorporates Dr. Fishman's yoga protocols to promote bone density while addressing balance and fall prevention strategies.
Telehealth Services
During the pandemic, we've expanded access to care through secure telehealth sessions available statewide. Our virtual consultations maintain the same personalized approach using technology to guide home exercise programs and monitor progress. This service includes equipment-free Pilates instruction, pain management strategies, and postural assessments conducted remotely with follow-up materials provided.
