What happens after your last therapy visit.
Strength is not permanent. Most people finish physical therapy moving better than they have in years, leave with a home program and every intention of doing it, and a couple of months later the reformer is a fond memory. Small group fitness exists to close that gap.
Be clear on what this is. Small group fitness is exercise, not physical therapy. There is no plan of care, no treatment and no therapy claim attached to it. It is Pilates-based fitness in the studio you rehabbed in, on the same reformers and tower, taught by staff who already know the equipment and know what you have been through.
How it works.
A Conversation First
Before you join a group we talk: what you were treated for, what you were cleared to do, and what still complains at the end of a long day. This is a fitness conversation rather than an evaluation, and it is what lets the instruction be scaled to you.
Working in the Studio
Reformer, tower and mat. Everyone works the same exercise at their own version of it, with the spring setting and the range adjusted person by person and cued out loud, so nobody is left copying the person next to them.
Knowing When to Come Back In
If something starts to hurt, say so. Texas direct access means a licensed physical therapist can see you without a referral for up to 10 consecutive business days, so the trip from the studio floor back into treatment is a short one.
Ask about joining a group.
Tell us where you are: still in therapy, recently discharged, or coming to us from outside. We will let you know what is running and which group would suit you.
If it turns out you need treatment rather than exercise, we can see you for that instead. No referral is required in Texas, and we aim to get you in within 48 business hours.
Thanks, we have it.
We’ll call you back to talk through the options and answer any questions. If you would rather not wait, call the clinic directly.
