Pilates is becoming a preferred rehabilitation tool of physicians and physical therapists in the Northern Virginia medical community for certain patients.
The benefits of Pilates correspond closely with the goals
of many physical therapy programs.
These benefits include:
Builds strength without bulking up
Develops a strong core and increases stability
Improves postural problems
Builds longer, leaner muscles and flexible joints
Balances strength and flexibility
Non-impact excercise (easy on the joints)
Can be customized for everyone from rehab patients to athletes
Improves performance in sports and dance
Improves balance, coordination, circulation
Robin Cole has specific training to support the rehabilitation
of various kinds of physical injuries and limitations.
Pilates for rehabilitation of your injuries is not a replacement
for treatment as prescribed by your physical therapist
or physician, but a supplement to your rehabilitation program.
Please discuss your potential pilates regimen with your physician or physical therapist before working out. We look forward to working with you.
Ensure your Pilates trainer understands the limitations
of your specific condition!!
