Back pain?
This is the most common pain point and it is not something you need to live with on a daily basis. We can help relieve it in as little as one session. Maintenance sessions are reccomended to correct posture long term, eliminate old patterns and reduce chronic pain.
What should I wear?
Wear form fitted clothing that will allow you to move around, upside down and twist around. No zippers on your clothing please as it may be uncomfortable and tear the equipment. We require non-slip grip socks for your safety and studio cleanliness. Don’t have any? We have them for purchase in the studio.
How long are the sessions?
All Private and duet sessions are 50 minutes in length. Group classes are 45 minutes.
I work at a desk all day and have chronic neck and pack pain. Can Pilates help me?
Yes! Pilates can help with correcting posture and alleviate neck and back pain. We can help you with your ergonomic setup and help you counteract all the tightness and tension created from sitting for extended periods of time in awkward forward positions. Sitting static for hours on end leads to tight rounded shoulders, forward head posture, a tight thoracic spine and hip flexors and even a dowagers hump. Improve your posture and alleviate pain and long term effects with a corrective Pilates program
