I try to express the importance of working out. I don’t care what season of life you are in. It doesn’t matter your age or if you are male or female. Get out and move. When you do not work out (including pilates) your bones lose mineral density and strength. This makes them more brittle and it increases your risk of osteoporosis and fractures. When your muscles don’t work, they weaken and shrink. With that said, imagine doing your workout, stretching, and rehabilitation all in one session. 

Let me introduce a few of my props that I use with clients. First is the Spinefitter. It does just what it says. It fits your spine. When you lie down on the reformer to do footwork, I place this under your spine. This is a training device with 28 interconnected balls that put deep pressure around your spine. It helps improve joint mobility and relieves tension. More and more physical therapists are using the reformer and props that come along with the Pilates method. The spinefitter also helps with myofascial release. Finally, it feels sooo good!

Another tool I use is the Neck relax. Same concept, when you lie down on the reformer to start working out, I will place this under your neck to relieve tension. We will also do some neck exercises. This will massage the facial tissue as well. Now that you’re all loose and warmed up with footwork, shoulder and arm work we will continue with a workout suited for you and only you. We will talk about any injuries or surgeries. Depending on your level of strength and balance, we can go into some heavy lunging or simply lunges with no weight. It's up to you. My pilates workouts can be very challenging if you can handle it. Otherwise, if you mostly want to do rehabilitation work, that’s great too! I also can include cardio if you love that.

If you would like to come try the Pilates buffet, please reach out. There’s no better convenience than being able to do your workout in your own neighborhood. This is one of the best things you can do for your body and mind. You save gas too!
