Pilates Movement Therapy uses specific Pilates exercises and other movements to help with YOUR specific pain points, postural imbalances, special conditions, and injuries. By choosing the most appropriate movements for YOU, we see actual change in the way you hold your body from the beginning of the session to the end. Considered a bridge between physical therapy and fitness activities, it empowers students to notice, sense and feel the proper form and technique so that they can exercise and move efficiently in other settings beyond the mat for a lifetime of pain free healthy movement. Movement Therapy has helped people pre and post surgery, and those with issues like back pain, SI issues, hypermobility, neck/shoulder issues, pelvic floor issues, plantar fasciitis, postpartum and many more.

Throughout your time in Movement Therapy, you’ll discover your ideal posture through awareness and empowerment. The program is made up of 1:1 sessions, homework via videos and small group classes.


“Mandee is such a life changer. I lived with chronic pain for over a decade and I tried everything, she was what really changed things for me. This is like PT on steroids. Mandee really retrains you to use your body in a holistic and gentle way by teaching body awareness, posture, and stability. I send her all of my patients!! So grateful for Mandee.” - Rebecca
