Re-educating the way your mind and body connect to movement
Restorative Pilates is about identifying and correcting joint, muscular and skeletal imbalances that cause compensation, dysfunction, pain and other health problems. Pilates Integration offers Pilates mat and equipment based sessions adapted for dealing with clients in chronic pain, injured populations and others who would highly benefit from a restorative pilates exercise program (osteoporosis, pre & post pregnancy, recreational and competitive athletes, scoliosis, osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, breast and other cancer patients).
From the careful selection and detailed explanation and instruction of exercises to the use of the best STOTT Pilates and fitness equipment, Restorative Pilates at Pilates Integration is designed to ensure each client's unique and special needs are met.
Restorative Pilates addresses the following:
Osteopenia/Osteoporosis: our unique approach can actually rebuild posture by lengthening and strengthening muscles that support the spine and joints
Abdominal Surgery/Pelvic Floor Disruption: It can be said that the Pelvic floor is the keystone to your health. Aside from holding in the internal organs, Pelvic Floor Strengthening can eliminate incontinence and enhance intimacy. The accordion shaped muscles stretches from your pubic bone to your tail bone. These muscles become weak from child birth, surgery and lack of use.
Pre and Post Pregnancy: If you were doing Pilates before you became pregnant, then you should certainly continue. Restorative pilates addresses the need to adapt Your routine as your body changes during each trimester. Post pregnancy, restorative pilates aids in strengthening the pelvic floor and core torso stabilizers.
Neck and Back Pain: Restorative pilates identifies and treats back and neck pain stemming from weak torso muscles and poor posture. You can learn to release tension in your neck and shoulders and let go of nagging back pain for good by re-training these muscles to perform their correct design form and function.
Scoliosis: Pilates Integration offers a complete program of exercises effective in the treatment of pain due to idiopathic and postural scoliosis, and in time can reduce the degree of spinal curvature under a diligent and supervised program.
"All we actually have is our body and its muscles that allow us to be under our own power."
