At Restore & Revive Movement, Dr. Kristina PT, DPT blends traditional physical therapy methods with pilates-based exercises to help patients with neurologic and orthopedic conditions alike achieve lasting breakthrough.
Some may ask: Why pilates-based physical therapy? Pilates works on strengthening the deep core first. When our core is weak, we rely heavily on joints and muscles that were never designed to do the tasks of daily living in isolation. As these joints/muscles compensate for weakness in the core, we often see patients overusing these areas, which typically results in injury. Pilates helps to create a strong foundation to build upon, allowing for greater harmony in the entire body, not solely the symptomatic area.
At Restore & Revive Movement, Kristina treats all the conditions typically addressed with traditional physical therapy (pain, injury, etc) as well as those with neurologic conditions, specifically balance, dizziness, or vertigo as well as helps women prepare for or recover from birth using pilates based intervention.
