Integrated Physical Therapy & Pilates Session
These appointments are 55 minutes in length with the first 27.5 minutes being spent with the Doctor of Physical Therapy and the second 27.5 minutes being guided by our expert Pilates instructors who are working as PT aides.
You can receive the same manual therapy techniques from your Physical Therapist and explore the Pilates equipment with 1:1 guidance.
Pilates is integrated in our practice at Inspira because Pilates at its foundation is rehabilitative in nature. It serves as a safe method for movement reeducation when instructed correctly because there are many exercises that can be completed while laying down. This is especially helpful for patients with chronic pain, POTS, pelvic organ prolapse, postpartum, and many other conditions.
Movement science principles encourage initiating exercises on your back or on the ‘supine’ position for the most efficient rehabilitation. The Pilates springs incorporated in all exercises are utilized in a progressive overload method and enhance proprioceptive input.
Breath is the first principle of Pilates and one of the first exercises given to our Physical Therapy patients is diaphragmatic breathing.
These Integrated appointments are challenging and should only be completed once your PT has recommended them.
As a cash-based physical therapy practice this appointment type is also our lowest cost Physical Therapy appointment. It is eligible for a superbill reimbursement if you have out of network insurance.
