We do this through an evaluation and functional assessment, which allows us to develop a progressive program that will take you through a journey, allowing us together, to explore a comprehensive and safe movement experience.
For our rehabilitation services a physician's referral is preferred but not always necessary. We accept No Fault and Workman's Compensation insurances. We participate in Independent Health Flex Fit, Univera Solutions, and Community Blue Alive and Lively programs.

Our rehabilitation program is not physical therapy, nor is it like physical therapy.

The certification for Pilates rehabilitation is comprehensive and intensive training program that all of our rehabilitation staff have completed. The patient / client is viewed as a whole. Pilates approach to rehabilitation is much more holistic in nature.

Pilates exercises have grown over the years due to their unique benefit and the ability to improve balance, coordination, increase flexibility, strengthening the abdominal/core muscles and developing long lean musculature without adding bulk. Pilates increases mental focus and reduces stress all through the process of developing strength, flexibility, and range of motion simultaneously. 
Pilates exercises developed exceptional coordination, agility, and strength for various sports and activities including: golf, tennis, dance, figure skating/hockey, swimming, baseball/softball, football, gymnastics, soccer, horse back riding, and competition cheerleading. 

As a matter of fact, Pilates is one of the primary tools that many top-level golfers use to get an edge on the competition.  Such golfers as: David Duval, Tiger Woods, Annika Sorentam and Rocco Mediate have all become disciples of the mind and body technique.  So it is no wonder that Pilates eclectic blend of mind and body exercises the techniques that focus on conditioning a person's powerhouse/core, is taking the golf world by storm.

"Contrology (Pilates) is complete coordination of the body, mind, and spirit.  Through Contrology you first purposely acquire complete control of your own body then through proper repetition of its exercises you gradually and progressively acquire that natural rhythm and coordination associates with all your subconscious activities." 
- Joseph H. Pilates "Return to Life Through Contrology"
