Pilates for Rehab   The Pilates method of exercise is a wonderful approach to rehabilitation. The equipment provides a safe and useful rehab environment. At FIT, we utilize a clinical reformer which is higher off the ground than some of the studio/ allegro reformers seen in many studios. This assists in making easier transitions on and off the reformer from a wheelchair, or for someone that has difficulty getting onto lower surfaces. The Pilates equipment is wonderful for stroke and neuro rehab since unilateral strengthening is vital. At FIT, we offer the Pilates method of exercise for individuals with spinal cord injuries. Many exercises can be performed from the wheelchair and/or in conjunction with the trapeze/cadillac table. The Pilates apparatuses are equipped with springs which offer resistance or assistance depending upon the exercise/goals. The Pilates equipment, exercises, and springs, are wonderful in relearning difficult movements and regaining control of one's mobility. Benefits from Pilates for rehab: Improved abdominal strength Greater trunk control Improved transfers Improved gait quality Increased flexibility Increased strength Increased joint range of motion (ROM)   17 Old Kings Road North * Suite O * Palm Coast * Fl * (386) 445-2348
