Commonly applied in Physical Therapy treatments, Pilates rehabilitation has widely been adopted as an approach known for its ability to strengthen your body and improve your posture, flexibility and balance. At Inner Elements, we see many clients who have completed their Physical Therapy program and our rehab Pilates program, compliments and enhances what they have learned in rehab therapy.

Pilates rehabilitation works for many reasons. The great attention to detail and form is a perfect way for a client to gain strength in the weaker or injured muscles and joints. Pilates is gentle on the joints, so there is little worry of overstressing an already stressed body. Pilates also develops the smaller muscle groups that work to support joints and bony structures. And because Pilates builds awareness in the body to balance, chronically weak and imbalanced muscles become equally strong.

Pilates as rehabilitation is also great preventative medicine. Keep yourself strong today and avoid injuries tomorrow. This is a great metaphor for people suffering from arthritis, osteoporosis or fibromyalgia.

Pilates rehabilitation not only develops strength, but it increases flexibility in muscles and joints. This is a particularly important note for people suffering from arthritis. These clients need to keep their joints “oiled” up. They do that by using them. Use it or lose it! Keeping a full or near full range of motion in the joints is immensely important to all people, but to arthritis sufferers in particular.

It is important to note that Inner Elements works in conjunction with physical therapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, or anyone in the medical profession that is making a diagnosis on a client. Our Pilates teachers are trained to design an individualized program that meets clients’ needs and goals, with a thorough understanding of the rehabilitative and therapeutic nature of The Method Pilates.

All clients whether they are young or old, professional athletes or a sedentary lifestyle, can benefit from a Pilates exercise program. We all have weak links in our muscular skeletal makeup. Pilates rehabilitation programs or a regular Pilates routine is a great way to balance out our weaknesses and feel stronger.

Pilates Rehabilitation is first offered in a Private setting where the individualized attention will allow clients to progress at their personal pace. Many clients transition to a maintenance routine of multiple classes per week.
