●PILATES●

Pilates is a series of exercises which has proven to be a very effective technique for conditioning the body / mind. The equipment employed (Reformer, Cadillac, and Wunda Chair) is a system of tensioned springs which provide a uniform, progressive resistance training that has a low impact on the sensitive joints. By working muscle systems, one can gain strength, body control, increase tone and flexibility, improve coordination and posture, as well as systemic healing for injuries and sports rehabilitation. A fitness workout on the Pilates machines can energize before or after a long day at work, be a great stress reducer, and aid in a wide variety of rehabilitation efforts.

●FELDENKRAIS®●

Feldenkrais® is a gentle, guided movement technique that combines physics, anatomy, psychology, biology, and principles from judo. It is a "re-learning" process that gets to the root of movement patterns stored in the body. Feldenkrais® can resolve chronic or habitual pain and facilitate healing from injury. While lying or sitting comfortably, a series of instructive movements help relax tense areas, alter habitual patterns, and provide new movement options. The instructions are communicated through slow, gentle touch and verbal cues. Most people experience a profound sense of deep relaxation, coupled with a sense of freedom of movement that can restore a sense of ease, comfort, and increased range of motion in the body. Feldenkrais® has been used extensively with conditions such as fibromyalgia, back, neck, and knee pain, strokes, chronic pain, developmental disorders in children, and enhancing athletic performance.
