Massage, Acupuncture, and Chiropractic can ease the symptoms of your pain but do not comprehensively address movement. Without some type of movement training after your treatment(s), you’ll probably engage in the same movement patterns that created your pain in the first place. Dynamic Body Pilates is both proactive and preventive: through movement, it aligns your bones and muscles—to change your body for life.

Dynamic Body Pilates has an unusually comprehensive understanding of not only physiological cause and effect, but also a vast repertoire of ways to apply their skills to your body. What emerges—and what you’ll experience—is customization beyond the vast majority of private Pilates sessions: one that is uniquely suited to your physique, concerns, and aims.

No. Dynamic Body Pilates is not Physical Therapy. Physical Therapy typically involves manual manipulation of your body and focuses on one local area of the body. In Pilates we take into account the whole body (the whole picture) to reduce or eliminate compensation patterns by guiding you very specifically through more supportive ways of moving. If you’ve had surgery, you would typically seek Physical Therapy first, then see us in order to learn how to move well and stay well. If you are considering surgery, the techniques used by Dynamic Body Pilates can help build muscular balance and integration—and in some cases help you steer clear of surgery and Physical Therapy altogether.

One of our clients is a lifetime competitive tennis player and coach. At 38, his knees were badly injured and in pain. He was considering surgery. But after a few months of our instruction, his knees stopped bothering him entirely!

A large percentage of our clients have some type of discomfort, pain issue or injury and most have tried medical or therapeutic treatments before starting our program. The reason that we are able to help people with pain issues is because we don’t simply instruct you through a series of exercises. Instead, we teach you to understand the information of how your body moves and needs to move to feel better - from the inside out. We want you to own the information to heal yourself.

As our services are not considered medical, we are not covered as a therapy under any insurance plan. Some insurance companies however, will provide reimbursement for fitness services. Please ask your provider about their policy.

HSA and FSA: If you work at a corporation that provides Health Spending Accounts and/or Flex Spending Accounts, please check with your HR department as these accounts may often cover a portion of your sessions.
