What is Mindful Movement?


Mindful Movement is a movement studio and a physical therapy clinic. We offer Pilates, GYROTONIC®, and Yoga in private sessions and classes

 

We offer a distinct physical therapy approach using Pilates and GYROTONIC® equipment.

 

Our unique organization provides a continuum of care for the rehabilitation client as well as a place for "mindful" exercise for the recreational exerciser and/or professional athlete.

 

Mission Statement

 

Our goal is to offer a holistic integration of mind and body, allowing our patients and clients to take charge of their health.

Our patients and clients receive individualized education and exercise instruction, with a “hands on” approach, to help meet their treatment and exercise goals.

Mindful Movement offers a unique approach that assists our patients and clients with their movement strategies.  Improving awareness can reduce or eliminate pain, improve efficiency and ease of movement.  Integrating this awareness into their lives paves the way to remaining involved in the activities they enjoy.

 

How are we unique?

 

Both in the movement studio and in physical therapy, we use the following principles as a foundation for assessment and programming to improve the efficiency and ease of movement.


 

Principles for programming

 

Breath We teach how breath associates with and facilitates movement.

Axial Elongation and Core Stabilization
The client is guided through imagery to attain "length and decompression" of joints through axial elongation; and core stabilization with a complete understanding of the deep muscle "corset".  Organization of the Shoulder Girdle, Cervical and Thoracic Spine

Spinal Articulation
We provide an understanding of basic intervertebral movements and how to access them.

Weight Bearing and Alignment of Extremities
We provide knowledge of efficient alignment of the lower body and how to move with it.

Movement Integration
Our programming is designed to produce "fluidity" and ease of movement that requires the whole body working synergistically.

We encourage a holistic integration of mind and body that allows the patient/client to take charge of their own health. We also provide a continuum of care from rehabilitation to post rehabilitation and beyond.

These principles are incorporated into the person's daily lives, not just into their "exercise".
