Why Pilates?

At Patterson Physical Therapy & Wellness Center we strive to bring you the most up to date information and exercise to keep you involved in ‘doing what you love.’ One of the tools we utilize to achieve this goal is a repertoire that consists of more than 500 systematic mat and equipment based exercises. Whether you are an athlete or if you sit up to a computer all day, we strive to bring you the safest and most effective exercise programming available.

One of the approaches we use is pilates. The reason we like pilates is that it involves a holistic approach to movement. Not only does it teach you to keep your core strong, which is what all of us need, it also teaches effective movement patterns that allow you to learn to use your body in the most efficient way possible. One of the ways we look at how your body moves is by keying in on five STOTT Pilates movement principles. These tell us how well you control movement from both a muscular and a neuromuscular perspective.

We look for five key patterns:
  1. How you breath when you move
  2. How you hold your rib cage
  3. How you hold your pelvis and its alignment
  4. How your shoulder blades find a home on your back
  5. Your head and neck position

Our aim is to work towards optimal musculoskeletal performance through strength, flexibility and endurance. Come let us share our success with you and return you to what you love, again!
