How Do I Get Started?
Our initial assessment is a one-on-one 55-minute appointment. You and your instructor will go over your physical history, answer any questions you may have, and learn about the foundation of our approach. Your instructor will then take you through the EBP Standard Movement Screen using the Fundamentals of the Pilates Method. During your session, your teacher will establish relevant homework to get you started right away. Depending on your personal goals you will work with your instructor to establish a plan of action.
How often do you recommend doing Pilates?
What types of lessons should I begin with?
Each client has individual needs, this is why our protocols are designed to be tailored to the individual. We find that when developing a Pilates practice to heal from a health condition, injury or surgery it is best
I already have Physical Therapy exercises I am supposed to do, do I have to do yours too?
I already have experience with the Pilates Method, do you still recommend beginning with Private lessons?
Already have experience with Pilates, wonderful! We do still recommend beginning with private lessons especially when trying to improve performance in Athletics. Even the most advanced students find that periodic privates help to keep their work relevant. During your initial assessment, you will establish an action plan with your instructor that may include adding other program options sooner.
What if I am dealing with chronic pain and prior forms of the movement have exacerbated the issue?
I do not have time for "homework." Do I have to do it?
A daily exercise practice is essential on the road to recovery. Learning to do something takes time. The more time you put toward Pilates the sooner it can benefit you.
We introduce exercises that are simple and can be done while brushing your teeth, sitting in traffic or doing the dishes. Change happens because of relentlessness, not from force. We encourage clients to add sets, not reps. This allows for you to progress organically without catastrophic injuries or even really inconvenient ones.
