Why Pilates for Knee Pain?

Introduction to Pilates Physical Therapy

Pilates physical therapy is a specialized approach to rehabilitation and fitness that integrates the principles of Pilates with traditional physical therapy techniques. It focuses on improving strength, flexibility, balance, and overall body awareness to promote optimal movement patterns and reduce pain.

Core Stabilization

One key aspect of Pilates physical therapy is focus on core stabilization, no matter the injury. This involves activating and strengthening the deep muscles of the core, including the transverse abdominis, hip abductors, pelvic floor and multifidus. These muscles provide essential support and stability to the spine and pelvis, necessary for the proper function of the knee joint.

Enhancing Stability and Function

Through targeted exercises and movements, Pilates physical therapy aims to improve the mobility of the ankle joints, tracking of the patella, quadricep and hamstring muscle coordination, and strength of the hip musculature. This not only helps alleviate existing pain and discomfort but also reduces the risk of future injuries.

Comprehensive Rehabilitation Approach

Pilates physical therapy sessions allow for a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation, addressing both the symptoms and underlying causes of musculoskeletal issues. By promoting balanced muscle activation and proper biomechanics, individuals can achieve greater resilience and overall well-being.

Insurance

I am a cash-based physical therapy practice accepting major credit cards, FSA, and HSA. Sales tax is not collected on services rendered.

Due to the in-depth evaluation and time required to properly address your concerns, I do not bill medical insurance and am considered an out-of-network provider on all major private insurance companies.

I will work with you to provide documentation and billing to submit to your insurance and assist in the reimbursement process. After each physical therapy session, you will receive a superbill with all the necessary codes to independently submit to your insurance for reimbursement.

I structured my practice this way to focus solely on my client without the pressure from the insurance companies. This model allows me to provide a higher quality of care and achieve optimal results in less visits.
