Pilates-Based Physical Therapy

At Orthopedic Centers of Colorado – Cornerstone Orthopaedics, our physical therapists incorporate Pilates-based techniques into individualized treatment plans to promote strength, flexibility, and control—especially in the core and stabilizing muscle groups.

Pilates is a low-impact, highly effective exercise method that emphasizes precise movement, postural alignment, and breath control. By focusing on core stabilization and whole-body awareness, Pilates helps improve muscle balance, joint support, and movement efficiency. Using specialized equipment such as the Reformer, our therapists guide patients through controlled exercises that are tailored to their specific rehabilitation needs and physical capabilities.

Pilates-based therapy is particularly effective in treating and preventing conditions such as low back pain, hip and knee instability, and shoulder dysfunction. It’s also beneficial for post-surgical recovery, injury prevention, and enhancing athletic performance.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury or looking to build a stronger foundation for movement, Pilates-based physical therapy offers a gentle yet powerful approach to restoring mobility and function.
