Injury Recovery and Rehabilitation through Pilates and movement
We help people with herniated and bulging discs, spondylolisthesis, scoliosis, sciatica and many kinds of unresolved spinal issues and back pain.

Move pain free again -- without the use of pharmaceuticals or expensive procedures
We use a combined method of movement, stretching, basic bodywork and functional exercises to reduce pain and get you up and moving. If you have made the rounds to other practitioners and are still in pain, we encourage you to book a session now. We see clients every day with chronic back pain, sciatica, stenosis, spondylolisthesis, scoliosis and generalized pain in the back and spinal areas. We treat people with frozen shoulder and tennis elbow and other shoulder and neck issues. People actively participate in their sessions rather than being passively treated, and, as a result experience a reduction in pain and increased movement and flexibility. Movements and exercises help your muscles create new muscle memory, basic bodywork releases tension and restructures the body and gentle stretching alleviates pain and tightness. We help people with chronic back pain, herniated and bulging discs, spondylolisthesis, scoliosis, sciatica and other spinal issues. Our basic approach to healing includes:
  • We do a careful assessment to discover the underlying roots of your injury or pain
  • We teach you how and why the body is responding with pain, and how to listen to the signals in your own body.
  • We offer private, one-on-one instruction with movement exercises and basic bodywork to restore movement and functionality.
  • We ensure success by working with you on posture and ergonomics.
  • We can also design a home program for you.​​

Shortly after the birth of my second child, I began Pilates with Laura.  This may sound like a cliche -- but it has literally changed my life. Laura and I worked together for about 10 sessions, and she gave me a very simple home routine, that I started doing every morning. Sometimes I would only do 10 minutes, but I did it every morning. I have not had a single back problem since! ... The Pilates that Laura exposed me to has literally changed my life! - Mary Sackett, Attorney
"After 20 years of back pain, I have finally felt an incredible shift as a direct result of the careful and experienced instruction from Laura. I learned pretty fast Laura is more than a Pilates teacher. She understands the complexities and subtleties of my body. Laura knew even just by looking at my posture for the first time what I needed, and she was right. Her tailored program combined with a recommendation to work with a local Osteopath has, in a matter of months, set me well on the way to being back to full health and capability. This treatment is truly created for a long term healing results." - Christian Douglas, Owner, Backyard Farm Co.
