Physical Therapy
Debora believes that the boutique one-on-one Physical Therapy approach is the most effective way to treat a patient. She brings to the session the customized Physical Therapy style, spending one hour with each patient, without the use of aides, to optimize the quality of treatment. One of her sessions equals several sessions of the typical outpatient physical therapy sessions.
After the thorough evaluation of your symptoms and functional mobility, the treatment will be based on your concerns, goals and having a personalized approach. She will tailor your treatment according to your response to the therapy in every session.
The Physical Therapy visit will consist of the application of MPS, manual technique in conjunction with functional exercises using the Pilates equipment and principles.
Debora has been working for more than 15 years with MPS to reduce pain, improve mobility and release scar tissue.
Pilates
Is there any better way than doing Pilates with a Physical Therapist and a Certified Pilates Trainer?
Many people think that Pilates is only for young, trained people. That is totally wrong!. In Debora’s Studio there are clients from 16 to 86 years old doing Pilates. It is all about what is proper for you, and that is something that a physical therapist is educated for.
The Pilates Method was developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates. Mr Pilates started rehabilitating ballet dancers in New York with his equipment and principles.
Benefits of Pilates include:
