Post Physical Therapy Benefits for Pilates | Balance Pilates

Injuries to knees, hip muscles, shoulders and elbows are increasingly common. As our baby boomer population grows older and athletes become more competitive visits to orthopedic surgeons, pain management doctors and physical therapist become an intricate part of our medical care.

Once patients are released from surgery and physical therapy many of them don?t know what to do, what?s safe, they aren?t motivated to continue their prescribed exercises.

The popularity of pilates and mind body exercises are becoming the next step in recovery and life after an injury. STOTT Pilates instructors are trained to work with patients after physical therapy. They give patients safe, challenging workouts that teach them correct posture and core engagement, proper alignment and techniques on correcting yourself throughout the day.

Many physical therapist are also learning STOTT Pilates techniques and are applying the benefits during therapy. This bridges the gap between physical therapy and going out on your own. STOTT Pilates instructors and physical therapist can speak the same language. Many times physical therapist can give your STOTT Pilates instructor direction and guidance on the best programs and exercises for you.

If you are interested in continuing care after physical therapy contact a Balance Pilates instructor. All of our instructors are STOTT Pilates trained and would be happy to speak to your physical therapist in regards to your health.
