Testimonial

“Major Surgery caused me to stop my Pilates sessions for 8 weeks. During recovery, I was inactive and lost most of my flexibility.  I was stiff and creaky and felt old for the first time in my life.

Then I went back for my first regular session with Colleen.  I was stunned to realize that after just ONE hour, my body and joints felt loose and lubricated. It was incredible to me and still is! Now, two weeks later, I am almost back to my former state of fitness and flexibility.  Pilates is a necessary part of my life.”

About Pilates

Pilates technique is a system of exercises designed to increase strength, flexibility, coordination, balance and control. Pilates focuses on the deep stabilizing muscles of the torso, hips and shoulder girdle. The exercises emphasize joint stability and muscle balance to create a stronger and more flexible spine. Regular pilates practice will help you to move through your daily life with fluidity and ease. Pilates will also help you to perform better in any athletic activity such as golf, baseball, running, etc. Utilizing the mat and apparatus, each exercise is performed with few repetitions, emphasizing precision, flow and correct form. Controlling your muscles, by focusing your mind, enables you to experience a new awareness of muscle function and coordination. Pilates strengthens the body and calms the mind.

About Myofascial Release

Fascia is a tough connective tissue which spreads throughout the body in a three-dimensional web from head to foot without interruption. Trauma, posture, or inflammation can create a binding down of fascia resulting in excessive pressure on nerves, muscles, blood vessels, osseous structures and/or organs. Since many of the standard tests such as x-rays, CAT scans, electromyography, etc, do not show the fascial restrictions, it is thought that an extremely high percentage of people suffering with pain and/or lack of motion may be having fascial problems, but most go undiagnosed.

Myofascial release utilizes sustained pressures to stretch shortened tissues, therefore eliminating pain and restoring motion. A session of Myofascial Release (MFR) will transform the way you stand and alter the way you move. It could change patterns you have held for years, even since childhood. More incredible still, it could shift your whole emotional being. After a course of treatment people's bodies quite literally look different - more upright, more centered, and more relaxed.
