Alpine Physical Therapy proudly announces the expansion of our Pilates-based rehabilitation equipment and programs. We now have a fully equipped Pilates studio, complete with STOTT™ reformers, cadillac, barrel, and stability chair.

And best of all, our therapists work under the guidance of Samantha Schoeneman. Sam is a physical therapist and an internationally Certified Pilates Instructor.

Alpine’s philosophy of rehabilitation is strongly supported by our use of Pilates in the rehabilitation process. We work with area doctors and other referral sources in designing rehabilitation programs that successfully incorporate Pilates-based approaches. Our clients comment on how much they enjoy this form of care, particularly because they often find that they can get a good workout without flaring their symptoms.

Today’s Exercise Choice

Although Pilates exercise has been around since the early 1900s, having been introduced by founding father Joseph Pilates, it’s percolated to the top of today’s exercise choices, particularly among dancers, golfers, and Hollywood superstars.

Over the past 10 years, Pilates has ridden a wave of what was formerly considered trendy. But it’s no longer a simple trend or fad. Pilates has elbowed its way into becoming a cutting-edge and highly sought way to create long and strong muscles--and slim and trim bodies.

Those committed to Pilates exercise have long known what doctors and physical therapists have recently begun to deduce, namely that these exercises help people with many orthopedic challenges. And now today’s medical science has finally caught up with what Pilates believers have long known and felt. The stuff works!

It’s rare to find quality physical therapy services in combination with specialized Pilates equipment. Rarer still is the opportunity to work with a physical therapist that has attained an international certification for full apparatus as a Pilates Instructor.

You don’t have to be a Hollywood superstar to help your body feel better. But choosing a qualified physical therapist with a PMA recognized international certification can.
