Physical Therapy With the Precision of Pilates.

It combines traditional physical therapy with Pilates-based movement to improve strength, flexibility, posture, balance, and overall function through a personalized rehabilitation program.

Your treatment is provided by a licensed physical therapist who can address a specific injury or medical condition, not by a group fitness instructor. Sessions combine manual therapy and traditional therapeutic exercise with clinical Pilates apparatus — reformer, Cadillac and tower, chair and barrels — and every exercise is modified to your diagnosis and your current ability.

No prior Pilates experience is necessary. Our physical therapists are trained to work with patients at all levels, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. Every exercise is taught from the ground up and modified to match your current abilities and limitations, whether you are recovering from major surgery or managing a chronic condition.

Sessions typically run 45 to 60 minutes; your initial evaluation may take longer so we can assess your movement, strength, flexibility and posture and build the plan with you. A treatment visit usually includes targeted manual therapy, progressive Pilates-based and traditional exercises, education on body mechanics and home care, and adjustments based on how you responded the week before.

The number of sessions varies based on your condition, severity, and individual response to treatment. Acute injuries may require 6-8 weeks, while chronic conditions or post-surgical rehabilitation might need 8-12 weeks or longer. Your physical therapist will provide an estimated timeline after your initial evaluation and adjust as needed based on your progress.

Yes. Home exercises are an important component of your rehabilitation. Your physical therapist will prescribe specific exercises, stretches, and movement awareness practices to perform between sessions. These are crucial for maintaining progress and achieving optimal outcomes, and many can be done without special equipment.

Because treatment is delivered by a licensed physical therapist, Pilates-based physical therapy is typically covered like any other physical therapy. Coverage varies by plan and may involve a copay or deductible. In New York you can see a physical therapist for 10 visits or 30 days without a referral, though your plan may still require one — our office can verify your specific benefits before you begin.

Yes. Balanced strength and proper mechanics reduce future injury risk. The approach develops core strength, improves movement efficiency, enhances flexibility, and corrects muscle imbalances that can lead to injury, and the skills learned in therapy translate to long-term wellness practices.
