Conditions that leave patients experiencing chronic pain can interfere with everyday activity and overall happiness. The team at Parkview Therapy Services Ash Skyline wants to get you back to activity after pain, surgery or injury. The expert physical therapists have unique subspecialty expertise to help optimize your individualized treatment plan, including Pilates!

Pilates physical therapy services are provided by Pilates certified physical therapists and a physical therapists assistant with over 30 years of combined experience. This therapeutic approach uses specially designed equipment that allows individuals of all ages to exercise with less stress on the joints, while focusing on the small muscle groups that stabilize the body.

During your physical therapy session, the expert therapist provides hands-on facilitation to help re-educate muscles and establish correct movement patterns that can help:

  • Decrease pain
  • Improve balance
  • Prevent injury

Pilates physical therapy is an excellent option for patients with various conditions, including:

  • Scoliosis
  • Those in need of small muscle group stabilization
  • Chronic back pain
  • Chronic hip pain
  • Muscle balance conditions

In order to participate in Pilates physical therapy, you should be cleared by a physician to participate in a general exercise routine and dress in clothing that allows freedom of movement.
