Why Pilates for Sacroiliac Joint 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 core strength, muscle and joint flexibility, balance, and overall body awareness to promote optimal movement patterns and as a result reducing pain.
Core Stabilization
One key aspect of Pilates physical therapy is “inner” core stabilization. This involves activating and strengthening the deep muscles of the core, including the transverse abdominis, pelvic floor, and multifidus. These muscles provide essential support and stability to the spine and pelvis, helping to maintain proper alignment and articulation of SIJ.
Enhancing Mobility and Function
Through targeted exercises and movements, Pilates physical therapy aims to improve coordination, stability, and mobility of the sacroilijc joint and surrounding muscles.
Comprehensive Rehabilitation Approach
Incorporating pilates based exercise into your physical therapy sessions allows for a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation, addressing both the symptoms and underlying causes that led to SIJ dysfunction. By promoting balanced muscle activation and proper biomechanics, individuals can achieve lifelong pain relief and optimized function.

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.
