I first ran into this concept during my pilates certification training in 2003 – and to be honest it took me a while to wrap my head around the concept. Basically, it is understanding that we are not built like a building. Yes, everything is connected and you probably learned the song “The Skele...

Our new therapist, Dr. Diego, PT, DPT, demonstrating the Pilates exercise “Tree with Arch” on the reformer. As Joseph Pilates said,
“If your spine is inflexibly stiff at 30, you are old; if it is completely flexible at 60, you are young” (full disclosure, Dr Diego is 55 👏🏽🙂).

NEW CLASS SPOTLIGHT

Restore: Spine and Core

What is this class and who is it good for?

This class focuses on exercises in neutral spine and is a great option for clients with a history of spinal conditions or those who want a slower-paced, “restorative” class before the weekend. Clients who have finished their private sessions can smoothly transition into this class. Despite its slower speed, rest assured that you will still feel challenged from head to toe.

Enjoy this new class on Fridays at 12pm with Marissa!

Did you know that sugar can make you sick? Sugar leads to many types of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol and increases inflammation in your body. The average American eats 152 lbs of sugar per year. The reason why our body craves sugar is because it acts like co***ne in the brain and increases our dopamine production (our pleasure neurotransmitter). Sugar also increases insulin production and when we eat too much sugar, insulin stores the sugar as fat. One of the most common areas (and the most dangerous area) to gain weight is our stomach. These fat cells are very intelligent and make their own hormones and inflammatory cytokines. Belly fat drives your food behavior because it is anabolic and hungry and wants to build, store, and grow leading to sugar cravings and increased hunger. Controlling your sugar addiction is easier than you might think and there are effective ways to detox from sugar. Check out our latest blog on sugar that gives helpful hints on safe ways to improve your health and decrease your sugar cravings (www.muvphysicaltherapy.com)
