Pilates Based Physical Therapy

Pilates-Based Physical Therapy finds its methodology to be in the same family of framework as physical therapy, but different psychological approaches sets them apart. Pilates based physical therapy sees whole-body wellness as the cure to injury as well as the key to functional living, for a better quality of life long after the initial stages of recovery. When the road to healing is paved with the Pilates based physical therapy practices, that path will lead to a life where moving better means feeling better.

Treating a symptom and not the problem will only result in a temporary fix. When maladaptive movements are corrected and analyzed through the lens of Pilates, it creates a whole new spectrum of possibility and adds a depth of scope into everyday living.

The focus of Pilates-based rehab to not only improve the quality of life but also re-educated the body to move in a more energy efficient manner. Self-awareness is heightened by the breathing patterns Pilates integrates into its slow and controlled movements. Much like physical therapy it does incorporate patience and diligence into its objective.

Another unique difference found in Pilates-based physical therapy is that you are generally assured the same technician each time you schedule and appointment. In physical therapy there is no chance of obtaining a “swinging door” practitioner. A relationship between the Pilates-based rehabilitation instructor and its client is of great importance, so that relationship is developed over time with the same instructor. A partnership generates a level of trust, and can be motivation for faster recovery.

When a client begins to involve themselves in new ways of moving, and new ways of walking, sitting and standing, provided by Pilates-based rehab, an awakening will be discovered. Sometimes just the way that we carry ourselves can lead to injury and imbalance, and we are completely unaware of it. Pilates will teach you how to listen to your body and respond accordingly.

Pilates is done on machines that assist the body along in creating more efficient patterns of movement. Each machine is spring-loaded and can be adjusted to fit the comfort zone of each client. With the careful observation and assistance of highly qualified Pilates professional, proper muscle recruitment will be developed keeping your specific needs in mind. Pilates based-rehab blends traditional therapy modalities with innovative Pilates poses to create a much needed mind-body connection technique that begins to heal the body from the outside in.

Understanding that climate of healthcare concerns, where time and money can be tight, Pilates designs its program to be highly effective in a short amount of time. Sequencing stabilization within the body and within the mind of a person suffering from an injury is at the forefront of those who teach Pilates. There are many options out there for rehabilitation, but we encourage you to give Pilates-based physical therapy a try and compare “notes” with former rehabilitation methods.

We believe that you will find Pilates to be a gentle progression from injury to wellness, no matter who you are, how old you are, your physical condition, female or male, Pilates based rehab can change the way you view the process of recovery and live your life beyond it.
