About Pilates
Pilates is a method of exercise made up of low-impact movement that emphasizes breath, correct body alignment, concentration, and a focus on controlled, flowing movement.
Named after its creator, Joseph Pilates, the Pilates repertoire promotes core strength and stability, balanced muscle development, overall body awareness, and equal parts flexibility and strength.
While Pilates was originally adopted by high-level athletes and dancers, the movement can be modified to meet the needs of any body. Today, it is used in both rehabilitative and fitness settings.
At Keating Physical Therapy + Wellness, our physical therapists often incorporate Pilates exercises and Pilates principles into your one-on-one session. These exercises can be done on the mat, Reformer, Trapeze Table, Chair, and Spine Corrector– all of which we have within our space.
