Pilates
Pilates is a total body conditioning method developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920’s. The method is an energizing, relaxing workout that elongates, tones, strengthened and aligns the body. The Pilates exercises are easily adaptable for every fitness level. Following the six principals of Pilates; concentration, control, centering, breath, flowing movement and precision the whole body is trained.
At Pilates North each client is approached as an individual and encouraged to reach his or her desired goals. Each Pilates session is tailored to teach the client more about their body and how it can move. Personal attention is given during private sessions and group classes to correct alignment and execution of the exercises.
Massage
We offer a multidisciplinary approach to bodywork that incorporates Swedish, Sports and Thai massage techniques as well as stretching and mobilization of the soft tissues. We go beyond the ‘typical’ massage.
Sports Massage is a specific treatment tailored to the needs of the athlete. Dan focuses on the management of acute and chronic injuries often seen with competitive athletes. Although data is still being collected and studies are in progress concerning the specific effects of Sports Massage, every athlete can greatly benefit from regular treatment to improve overall performance.
