REHABILITATION
Pilates rehabilitation works for many reasons. The great attention to detail and form is a perfect way for a client to gain strength in the weaker or injured muscles and joints. Pilates is gentle on the joints, so there is little worry of over stressing an already stressed body. Pilates also develops the smaller muscle groups that work to support joints and bony structures. And because Pilates builds a body awareness to balance chronically weak and imbalanced muscles become equally strong.

Pilates as rehabilitation is also great preventative medicine. Repair today’s injuries and avoid injuries tomorrow. Pilates rehabilitation supports people suffering from arthritis, osteoporosis or fibromyalgia.

Rehab Pilates not only develops strength, but it increases flexibility in muscles and joints. This is a particularly important note for people suffering from arthritis. These clients need to keep their joints “oiled” up. They do that by using them. Use it or lose it! Keeping a full or near full range of motion in the joints is immensely important to all people, but to arthritis sufferers in particular.

It is important to note that most Pilates instructors are not trained nor qualified to make diagnosis or treatment plans for injured clients. In rehabilitation situations, Pilates instructors jobs are to work in conjunction with physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, or anyone in the medical profession that is making a diagnosis on a client. Our job is to teach Pilates. Plain and simple. The Pilates method in itself is rehabilitative and therapeutic.

All clients whether they are young or old, professional athletes or weekend warriors, can benefit from a Pilates exercise routine. We all have weak links in our muscular skeletal makeup. Pilates as rehabilitation or simply on its own is a great way to balance out our weaknesses and get us, and keep us, on our feet.
