Pilates Studio

"We would like to welcome you to ProHealth Physical Therapy and Pilates Studio located in beautiful Peachtree City, GA."

Imagine a workout program that you enjoy and anticipate, one that energizes you, and leaves you refreshed and rejuvenated-both physically and mentally. The Pilates Method of body conditioning is the ultimate body workout, and will help you do all of this and more!

The Pilates Method is not just exercise. It is a series of controlled movements designed to develop strength, increase flexibility, and lengthen muscles while achieving total body awareness. It is a customized workout, utilizing Pilates equipment and mat work, that provides you with the stretching and breathing benefits of yoga and the strengthening benefits of weight training.

Who Benefits From Pilates?

Those wanting a healthier body:

Women rave about the transformation of their "problem areas," enjoying a longer, leaner, and stronger physique. Men enjoy the more sculpted, athletic look provided by Pilates. Not only do bodies look better, but increased flexibility and core strength makes them more functional and less prone to injury.

Professional and Recreational Athletes:

Power is generated at the core and is expressed through the extremities. Athletes, professional and recreational, including runners, swimmers, golfers, triathletes,dancers, gymnasts, and tennis players, can supplement their traditional training in order to develop balance, stability, and stamina. Pilates can "fill the gap" that exists within your normal training regimen.

Those with orthopedic conditions:

Pilates training may also be appropriate for individuals continuing to recover from or manage back, knee, or shoulder conditions.

Those with more challenging conditions:

Pilates can assist those with pelvic floor dysfunction, recent / current pregnancy, older adults, and those with chronic pain or disease.

Because your mind is required to engage with your body to perform the movements correctly, you experience a new awareness of muscle function and control.

The Pilates Method of body conditioning was developed by Joseph Pilates over 70 years ago. The method emphasizes balance, control, focus, and stability. Energy to nourish the muscles is sustained through controlled breathing to improve function of the heart and lungs.
