PHYSICAL THERAPY
One can say you can never turn off the PT in me. The beauty of utilizing OWN PT & Pilates includes the access to a Physical Therapist with 15 years of experience with manual therapy techniques, corrective exercises and stretches, and information to help you live more fully in your body with less pain.
Due to the wellness forward nature of our practice, OWN PT & Pilates is not in-network with any third-party or insurance groups. Payer policies greatly limit the clients’ choice in how they use their benefits.
PILATES
The Pilates method was created and developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century. This method of choreographed movement sequences has been shown to help improve mindfulness requiring core stability, strength, and flexibility with attention to muscle control, posture, and breathing. The Pilates method is based around Nine Principles: Breathing, Concentration, Control, Centering, Precision, Balanced Muscle Development, Rhythm and Flow, Whole Body Movement, and Relaxation.
TRX
TRX, or suspension straps, offer another way to add core strengthening, address decreased mobility, and offload bodyweight in your normal workout.
At OWN, we utilize TRX Pro4 System strapping to modify many of the original Pilates movement sequences to provide a deeper workout. Using TRX can be an excellent bridge from reformer or chair sessions to mat work.
DRY NEEDLING & GRASTON TECHNIQUE™
Graston Technique ™ is a form of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM). The instruments designed and utilized under Graston have the highest quality available on the market and are designed to be used both statically and dynamically to invite pain free movement and fascial glide. Graston Technique can often be confused with scraping or gua sha, however, GT includes the use of neuromuscular reset at the time of treatment for best overall outcomes.
At OWN, Morgen will often utilize GT while on the Pilates equipment for greater opportunity to muscle activation and somatic access to better imbody the movement sequence at hand.
