The S2 Difference: Physical Medicine Meets Pilates

Our Pilates-based Physical Medicine service is not a group fitness class. It is a highly personalized form of therapy delivered one-on-one. Dr. Koliny’s extensive background in chiropractic and spinal health provides the ideal foundation for this specialized service.

This fusion of disciplines allows us to address the root cause of your pain by:

  • Improving Core Stability: The “powerhouse” (core) is the foundation for all movement. Strengthening it relieves pressure on the spine and joints.
  • Enhancing Posture and Alignment: By correcting imbalances and faulty movement patterns, we can reduce strain on your body.
  • Increasing Flexibility and Range of Motion: Controlled, fluid movements help restore mobility without aggravating your condition.
  • Building Functional Strength: We focus on building strength that translates directly to your daily activities and athletic performance.

Conditions We Treat with Pilates-Based Physical Medicine

This innovative approach is a highly effective treatment for a wide range of conditions, offering a safe and controlled way to regain strength.

  • Chronic Back and Neck Pain: By strengthening the deep stabilizing muscles of the spine, we can reduce persistent pain and improve support.
  • Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Pilates offers a safe and controlled environment to rebuild strength and mobility after procedures like joint replacements or spinal surgery.
  • Sports Injuries: We help athletes improve body awareness and muscle control to prevent re-injury and enhance performance.
  • Sciatica and Disc Issues: By decompressing the spine and strengthening the supporting muscles, we can alleviate pressure on nerves.
  • Poor Posture: This therapy is designed to correct postural habits that contribute to pain and discomfort.

What to Expect During Your Session

Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation by Dr. Koliny. We will create a customized treatment plan that incorporates Pilates principles using specialized equipment like the reformer and trapeze table. Each session is a focused, one-on-one experience where you will be guided through a series of therapeutic movements designed to challenge your stability and build strength in a safe and supportive environment.
