We are excited to announce we have two clinical reformers at FreeMotion physical therapy.  Pilates is a unique approach to training in mind/body awareness and controls of movement and posture. The reformer, aspecialized apparatus used in Pilates, provides an opportunity to train a variely of movement patterns.

Pilates has been shown to yield numerous benefits:

• Strength and flexibility, particularly of the abdomen and back musculature
• Posture, balance and core strength
• Bone density and joint health improvement
• Increased lung capacity and circulation through deep healthy breathing

We are utilizing Pilates along with a variety of our traditional physical therapy methods to provide neuromuscular re-education, strengthening and stabilization. This unique combination of methods has helped our patients with a variety of diagnosis recover quickly and achieve maximum strength and mobility.

Whatever your sport - golf, tennis running, walking, throwing - these will enhance your performance and help prevent injuries. Here are three great challenging, core exercises we recommend. Form is important, do not let your low back sag. It is best to do these exercises in front of a mirror. Bridges, prone on forearms, and side plank. Come by FreeMotion Physical Therapy to have us demonstrate these great core exercises.
