Physical Therapy and Private Pilates/Fitness Instruction in a Boutique Studio Setting

11/13/2025

Group Pilates classes may come with a hidden cost. 💵

In big classes, it’s easy for small misalignments to go unnoticed, and over time, those can lead to poor movement patterns—or even injury.

At Mag PT & Pilates, our one-on-one and semi-private sessions are designed for you: your body, your goals, your progress. Every movement is guided, every adjustment is intentional, and every session builds the strength and alignment that last far beyond the reformer.

✨ Invest in quality now—for results that last.

Strong from the inside out 💪✨
✅ Build deep core stability
✅ Strengthen upper body control

Your core supports everything you do, both in and out of the studio.

By combining rotation, resistance, and balance, this exercise strengthens your obliques, shoulders, and postural muscles — helping improve spinal mobility, coordination, and overall body awareness.

It’s not about moving more — it’s about moving better.

Think you need more stretching? 🤔 Maybe not.

Sometimes the problem isn’t flexibility — it’s strength. 💪

When a muscle feels “tight,” it may actually be your body asking for more stability and strength, not more stretching. That’s why simply pulling on the muscle isn’t always the answer.

✅ The solution? A professional eye. Dr. Melissa will use her Pilates training + physical therapy expertise to uncover what your body needs — whether it’s strength, mobility work, or yes, a little stretching.

Your body is unique. Don’t guess — get guidance.

✨ If you only have 10 minutes for Pilates, do this ✨

1️⃣ Spine stretch to lengthen + release
2️⃣ Plank hold (or knee plank) for core + stability
3️⃣ Side-lying leg lifts to wake up your hips + glutes
4️⃣ Bridge lifts for strength + mobility
5️⃣ Roll down to finish grounded + centered

🌿 Ten mindful minutes can change how you feel for the rest of your day. Your body (and mind) will thank you.

👉 Save this for later + tag a friend who needs a 10-minute reset!

✨ “Draw your belly button to your spine.” You’ve probably heard this cue in Pilates, but what does it really mean?

It’s not about sucking in or holding your breath. Instead, it’s about gently activating your deep core muscles—especially the transverse abdominis, your body’s natural corset. 💪

When you draw your belly button toward your spine:
1️⃣ You create stability and support for your spine and pelvis.
2️⃣ You protect your lower back during movement.
3️⃣ You build a strong foundation for better posture and balance.
4️⃣ You connect more deeply to the movement, making each exercise more effective.

Think of it as wrapping your midsection in strength from the inside out. 🌀 Next time you’re on the mat, try engaging this way and notice how much more powerful and controlled your movements feel.

✨ Strong core. Supported body. Smarter movement. That’s Pilates.

✨ Parents, we see you. Back-to-school schedules are BUSY, but your wellness matters too! Here are 5 tips to keep moving when life feels hectic:

1️⃣ Schedule it like a meeting – put your Pilates session on the family calendar so it doesn’t get pushed aside.
2️⃣ Early bird wins – morning workouts mean fewer interruptions and more energy for the day ahead.
3️⃣ Short & consistent – even 20 minutes of mindful movement is better than waiting for the “perfect” time.
4️⃣ Stack the habit – tie your workout to a routine (drop-off → Pilates, or coffee → stretch).
5️⃣ Find your tribe – schedule a semi-private Pilates session with a couple friends to keep you accountable and make the time more fun.

👩‍👧‍👦 You’ve got this! Your strength sets the tone for the whole family.

✨ Pilates isn’t just a workout — it’s a system.

Every spring, strap, and movement on the reformer has a purpose, designed to connect you from head to toe. And just like any great system, there’s a progression: we start with the fundamentals to build strength, awareness, and control… then layer in more challenge as your body’s ready.

In our private and semi-private reformer sessions, we meet you exactly where you are, guiding you through this purposeful journey so you’re not just “doing Pilates,” you’re experiencing it as it was designed — with intention, flow, and results that last.

Because when Pilates is practiced as a system, every session takes you one step further toward your strongest, most balanced self. 💪✨

📅 Book your next session — let’s move with purpose.

✨Want to motivate your kid to get up and move? Start by moving yourself.✨

Kids learn by watching. If they see you making movement a priority—like heading to your Pilates session or performing your PT exercises at home—they’ll learn that healthy movement is a priority.

It’s not about being perfect—it’s about showing up for yourself and staying consistent.

👀 They see you.

💪 They mirror you.
