The Pilates reformer is a versatile tool which we use to provide a full body workout in a 55-minute personal work out session or as part of your physical therapy plan of care utilized to enhance the effects of your manual therapy-based treatment session. It is a great tool to use following soft tissue and myofascial release techniques to allow for muscle activation and reeducation and improvement in alignment and posture and to help retrain your brain on proper movement thus reducing pain. Studies have shown that following a physical therapy session that includes integrative dry needling, there is a 15-minute window of opportunity for gains in range of motion. Adding on or allowing time for stretching on the reformer after your therapy session is a great opportunity to see these gains come to life. Your therapist will help you determine the modalities best suited for you to achieve your rehab or maintenance goals.

​
