Pilates for Pain Management
Picking up where clinical support ended.
Pilates approaches pain differently than other modalities. We target the symptom and also look at the full system of movement underneath it. The work is about understanding the full context of your body and building a movement foundation strong enough to change it.
ALPS Movement has long-term training relationships with clients who came in with herniated discs, post-surgical recovery, and other chronic conditions. Some were referred by their physiotherapists and some arrived on their own after years of looking for the right approach.
Some of the conditions clients have had include:
Disc herniation
Cancer
ACL & meniscus injury
Endometriosis
Acute pre- and post-natal challenges
Psychological trauma
General sports injuries
Undefined chronic pain that has been assessed by specialists
We don't make guarantees and it’s important to note Pilates isn’t a substitute for medical care. But we will look at you as a full human, not just the part that hurts.
Will my health insurance pay for Pilates?
