Pilates Reformer Rehabilitation In Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter FL

Pilates when implemented as part of a physical therapy program has proven to be very effective in treating patients with multiple impairments and injuries. Current research in the Journal of Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy, revealed that pilates rehabilitation was the most effective treatment for patients with low back pain/injury, beating out all other forms of exercise and therapies. 

Pilates incorporates core strengthening, motor pattern retraining, proper breathing, posture and kinesthetic awareness during exercise. As a result, patients are able to improve core control, improve posture and breathing. Pilates often utilizes springs, cords, pulleys and other exercise equipment during your session. 

The philosophy behind pilates is to not over train the body instead to elongate, strengthen, improve elasticity/pliability and joint mobility. This is why many professional sport teams and elite athletes use Pilates as part of their training regimen.
