Did you know Pilates was originally created by Joseph Pilates during World War I to help injured soldiers recover?
Pilates is more than just exercise — it’s about controlled movement, body awareness, and building strength with proper alignment.
Many physical therapists use Pilates-based movements in patient training. Some even go further and become certified Pilates instructors.
For example, I’m certified in Polestar Pilates, which focuses on 5 principles:
1️⃣ Breathing
2️⃣ Mobility
3️⃣ Dynamic Alignment
4️⃣ Control
5️⃣ Movement Integration
Why Work With a Physical Therapist for Pilates?
As a physical therapist, I bring a deeper understanding of anatomy and movement science into every session. This allows me to identify the true source of your discomfort and design a program that targets exactly where your body needs support or training.
The movements may look simple, but they’re carefully tailored — and most clients still finish sweating head to toe!
Pilates can be both part of your rehabilitation and a lifelong practice to help you stay strong, balanced, and healthy.
