Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is the treatment of chronic and acute pain in the muscles and joints caused by trigger points, ischemic tissue and neurovascular entrapment. Specificity both in the techniques applied and in the attention paid to each muscle involved distinguish this effective therapy from other types of bodywork. Learn More

Using both massage and NMT, the therapist will combine deep tissue work with trigger point therapy in a variety of ways depending on the needs of the client. The time can be spent either focusing on a complaint or attending to the whole body, feeling for areas of dysfunction, tension and pain. The therapist will treat the body holistically, using the knowledge that NMT training and years of experience brings. Learn More

Imagine having the figure of a dancer and the strength of an athlete; a long and healthy body with beautiful posture and grace of movement … powerful, flexible and controlled. That’s a Pilates body!

“In 10 sessions you’ll feel the difference, in 20 you’ll see the difference, in 30 you’ll have a new body.” Joseph Hubertus Pilates

Pilates sessions, using spring-resisted equipment, build core strength while conditioning the entire body. It is especially helpful for posture and back problems. Therapeutic instruction is offered in private and semi-private sessions for those with special needs including limited flexibility, osteoporosis, stroke-related limitations, and disabilities.

Pilates is taught privately as Solos, Duets or Trios on our Reformers/Cadillacs and other pieces of equipment. Mat work is available in Small Group Classes, but comprises a portion of almost every lesson. Learn More

Need a good stretch? Active Isolated Stretching is the first step in the rehabilitation process and is the base for every good fitness regime. Pre-and postsurgical conditions are greatly helped by working the deep connective tissue of the joints. Athletes improve performance dramatically and those with repetitive postures or movements find relief from the resulting muscle strain.

Active Isolated Stretching (AIS) is a time-tested and unique method of lengthening muscles developed by Kinesiotherapist and rehabilitator Aaron Mattes. Increase flexibility and muscle efficiency; improve balance, strength and speed; expand lung capacity; intensify focus and concentration; reduce stress. AIS is the best! You’ll be amazed at the results! Learn More
