Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Pilates-based Corrective Exercise?

Corrective exercise is a movement practice based on principles of kinesiology, anatomy, and biomechanics. By utilizing the classical Pilates apparatus, we provide spring resistance and feedback to the body, correcting musculoskeletal imbalances and faulty movement patterns that result from orthopedic conditions or lifestyle habits.

Conditions positively influenced by this work include chronic pain, low back pain, post-op pain/stiffness, balance disorders, post-natal healing, hypermobility/EDS, and many more.

What can I expect at my first session?

Please complete the intake and liability forms sent via email before your initial session. Plan to arrive 5-10 minutes early to find parking and get settled. Wear comfortable clothing that you can easily move in. Shoes are not allowed on the apparatus; however, you may wear socks, grip socks, or go barefoot.

We will review your intake form, movement and health history, current status, and wellness goals to ensure our plan is appropriately individualized to your needs.

How do I get started?

New clients will be provided links for intake and liability forms before their initial session. Please complete these before your appointment.
