Swell Fusion combines the principles of Pilates with personalized Physical Therapy techniques to address specific rehabilitation needs and enhance overall wellness.

How does Pilates complement Physical Therapy in this program? 

Pilates and Physical Therapy offer numerous benefits individually, but when combined, they create a powerful synergy for overall health and wellness. Clients will benefit from a comprehensive approach that addresses core strength, flexibility, body awareness, pain relief, and rehabilitation. This synergy enhances overall well-being, functional fitness, and quality of life. 

Who can benefit from this specialized PT program? 

The Swell Fusion program is uniquely designed for clients recovering from injuries, those seeking rehabilitation and pain relief, athletes aiming to prevent injuries, and anyone looking to improve their overall physical well-being through a targeted approach.

What types of injuries or conditions does your PT program address? 

Our program addresses a wide range of injuries, including but not limited to, back and neck pain, joint injuries, post-surgery rehabilitation, musculoskeletal conditions, generalized weakness, neurorehabilitation and more. The Swell Fusion program improves balance, posture and flexibility. 

What makes your PT program unique compared to standard physical therapy? 

Our program integrates the specialized knowledge of Physical Therapy with the holistic approach of Pilates. While standard Physical Therapy focuses on addressing pain, injuries, and restoring functional movement, Swell Fusion goes beyond that by emphasizing movement quality. It aims to improve the fluidity, and efficiency of movement, enhancing overall body control and coordination.  

Are the instructors certified in both Pilates instruction and physical therapy? 

Absolutely, our instructors hold over 500-hour certifications in Pilates instruction and each has 15+ years of experience in integrating physical therapy techniques into Pilates-based exercises. 

How long is each Swell Fusion session?

Each specially designed Swell Fusion session is 50 minutes. 

How are sessions structured, and what can clients expect during a session? 

A client’s first session will include a thorough assessment by one of our qualified Physical Therapists to understand their individual needs. Based on this assessment, a Physical Therapist will develop a personalized Pilates-based exercise regimen designed to achieve specific goals. Our clients can expect a mix of Physical Therapy exercises and equipment-assisted Pilates exercises tailored to their needs. Progress is consistently monitored and a reevaluation will be conducted after 5 to 10 visits as needed to track progress and make any program adjustments.  

Does the Swell Fusion program offer additional services besides Physical Therapy and Pilates?

Yes. Depending on your condition, our therapists might also recommend dry needling and/or craniosacral work to help maximize your treatment plan. Dry needling is offered in 30-minute sessions and is used to provide additional pain relief.  Both services are also provided at Swell Studio. 

Can clients continue Pilates sessions after completing the PT program? 

Absolutely! Once clients complete the program, their dedicated Physical Therapist will guide them to ensure a safe therapeutic path that fits their individual needs. In most cases, it is recommended our clients transition to our highly skilled, certified Pilates instructors who will seamlessly incorporate the principles learned in the Swell Fusion program into private Pilates sessions or our group sessions. Our Pilates instructions will help you continue your journey to achieve your mobility and fitness goals.
