Pilates exercise by a Physical Therapist
Patricia Oys, a physical therapist, classical and Polestar trained Pilates trainer, can use her extensive education to help integrate a whole-body approach and movement assessment in the Pilates session. A physical therapist has a clinical focus that now requires a doctorate degree. The physical therapist has extensive education in academic knowledge of pathological conditions, biomechanics, anatomy, kinesiology, therapeutic exercise, and the rehabilitation process. A physical therapist, who is PMA certified and has gone through a comprehensive Pilates training program, can include the principles of the Pilates Method (strength, coordination, balance, motor control, flexibility, breathing, and conscious and unconscious mastery of functional movement) into the rehabilitation exercise program. These principles will allow the program to be more successful. The physical therapist, trained in Pilates, can integrate the whole body approach and movement assessment into the rehabilitation program. A Pilates-trained physical therapist should have an improved ability to assess, re-educate and correct the cause of pain, versus treating the symptoms of pain as many common pathologies are a result of poor movement patterns or postural patterns and not necessarily a result of injury or trauma.
By combining both a PT’s approach and a Pilates approach, Dr. Patricia Oys will be able to custom design an exercise program that meets your individual needs.
Experience in both Physical Therapy and Pilates
The approach at Therapeutic Pilates is to integrate research-based science, whole-body movement, and the power of visualization. Patricia will leverage her experience in the field of Physical Therapy, Pilates, fitness, rehabilitation, and biomechanics to help you have a better understanding of how to exercise safely. You should start to see changes in your body by using this approach.
At Therapeutic Pilates, Dr. Patricia Oys will perform a detailed examination prior to initiating an exercise program. The assessment will include an assessment of both static and dynamic musculoskeletal systems, alignment, posture, and body mechanics. She has the training, education, and ability to see the relationships between structure and symptoms/pain. Once the examination is completed, Patricia will then prescribe a Pilates exercise program tailored to meet your individual needs, which should result in a better long-term outcome. Your Pilates exercise program may be modified depending on your musculoskeletal impairments. With Patricia’s extensive Pilates training, you will be re-educated on how to properly align your body which should allow you to move your body more efficiently and with less pain.
