Pilates

Pilates is practiced at this facility "the way Joe meant it to be", meaning that each clients' program is custom designed to meet their individual needs. We utilize a fully equipped gym using Gratz made apparatus. Each session will include the reformer, cadillac, chair, ladder barrel, mat as appropriate. We do not conduct classes greater than three, so that we can closely supervise, stretch, and instruct our clients.

Our facility is unique in that Roberta Wein , P.T., is a second generation Pilates Instructor, as well as a physical therapist. She has also trained her physical therapists in the authentic Pilates method.
The physical therapists at this facility, work with patients including the Pilates Method, if applicable, as well as the Pilates enthusiast. Examples of client /patients that have greatly benefited, are post surgical spinal surgery, herniated discs, scoliosis, to name only a few. Many of our patients, have found this method to be so helpful, that they continue with us as Pilates Clients, once they have graduated from physical therapy.

Dyane’s studies of the Pilates system of exercise began in the early 1970’s with Judith Covan-Newfeld as therapy for an injury. As the healing ensued, Dyane realized the true value of this system and began teaching what she learned to dance and theatre friends and colleagues. In 2000 she earned a teaching certificate from Romana Krysanowska, of the Pilates Institute. One of the most enjoyable aspects of her life is the sharing of this wonderful storehouse of knowledge to those who wish to live healthier, longer and more productive lives.
