We all hear that Pilates is great for your joints, especially as we age. But how? What is a joint? Why are healthy joints so important for our well-being?

A regular movement practice is an excellent way to improve your body, mind, soul and quality of life.

You only get 10-15 good years of brain health and with modern medicine allowing us to live until 80 or 90, we should really be focusing on how to keep our brain healthy so we can live a fulfilling life. 

Modern life is busy and highly scheduled. For many of us, this means we don’t get the sleep and rest we need to feel our best. 

Do you know someone getting surgery on a joint such as the hip or knee?  Most likely they are familiar with the thought of rehabilitation after surgery, but the idea of pre-surgical rehabilitation is just as important.

This summer at The Pilates Place we would love to see you in the studio continuing to move with us.  But we also want to help you lean into some habits and routines that will unleash your peak wellness and get you everything you want and more from this year’s sunny season. 

Many of us are on the move this summer. Do you have plans for beach weekends, family vacations, trips to see friends, or road trips in the works?

When you are in your early adult years and moving well and have no aches and pains, we tend to forget that one day we will be older and won't be able to move quite as well. But, it does happen.  :)  What can you do now to prepare for your retirement years? 

Does your back pain stop you from doing the things you love to do?  Does it interfere with playihng with your kids or grandkids?  Does it cause you to cancel your tennis or golf matches?  Is it so bad that some days you can’t stop popping ibuprofen?  

We all seem to get how important playing is for kids. They need to let their minds wander, have free time, and explore their imaginations and social connections. But the truth is, playing is super important for adults, too!

Believe it or not, but the strength of our relationships is one of the key factors of determining our longevity. Our social relationships and social networks may be more important than our genetics, diet or even exercise in determining our health outcomes.  

A huge thank you to one of our clients, Dolly D, for taking the time to write such a glowing review.  And, even more kudos to her for her consistency and commitment to her health and wellness!

We hear again and again about how we are one of the highlights of our clients' day and that means the world to us....it's quite humbling. We are passionate about Pilates because it's an exercise modality that truly delivers results and makes people happy!

If you're like the majority of people who want to make a positive impact on their mental well being in 2023, The Pilates Place is here to help.

Many people think sweat is the only gauge of exercise intensity, but it’s more about how much you contracted and released your muscles because that’s how the muscle gets stronger.

Although Pilates has been around for more than 50 years, there are still misconceptions about what it is, what it’s not, and what it can do.

It’s not uncommon for a Pilates student to walk into class and say to the Instructor, “I woke up this morning and my back just hurts and I have no idea why”.

You’ve heard it before….sitting is the new smoking.
