Pilates, named after its developer, Joseph Pilates, was originally created for the use of rehabilitating wounded soldiers during World War I. Soon after, it was adopted by the dance community and seemed to lose its place in the medical industry. Today, pilates is returning to its roots! Many health conditions can benefit from physical therapy and pilates rehabilitation. Also known as ‘rehab pilates’, it not only promotes good posture, it is used to retrain the stabilizing muscles in the joints to improve function and assist in pain free movement.

At Firehaus Pilates Studio, we use rehab pilates to work with many medical conditions such as lower back pain, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, joint replacement, Osteoporosis, Degenerative Disk Disease, chronic headaches, and much more. No matter your age, movement restrictions, or health conditions, using rehabilitation pilates, we will develop an individual pilates reformer plan to aid you in your recovery. Talk to your doctor today to find out if pilates physical therapy would be a beneficial addition to your current treatment plan!
