What if I have an injury or diagnosis where movement can be difficult, is Pilates for me?

We recommend speaking with your doctor and/or physical therapist to determine which exercises are safe and recommended for you based on your individual needs.

As you listen to your medical provider, the good news is that Pilates is for everyone.

Movement can be medicine. Low-impact movement like Pilates doesn’t put extra stress on your system. It lubricates joints, reduces inflammation, and releases tight muscles. Pilates opens up our breath pathways, and stimulates lymphatic fluid. It can even decrease our feelings of pain. The hormones we produce when doing Pilates workouts actually help to reduce pain.

We encourage you to listen to your body and modify whenever needed too. You can find gentle stretching workouts and exercise modifications in the Lindywell Move library too.
