Balanced Body® Launches Continuing Education Program for Physical Therapists and
Rehabilitation Professionals

SARCRAMENTO, CA – March 3, 2020 – Balanced Body®, the world’s leading resource for Pilates and integrated movement equipment and education, today announced the launch of its Continuing Education Program for Physical Therapists and Rehabilitation Professionals. The innovative neuromuscular training program is designed specifically for rehabilitation professionals looking to expand their use of therapeutic movement as a treatment modality.

The program trains therapists to work with individuals, regardless of their level of function— from the most acute level of diagnosis, to those with high athletic capabilities—to enhance range of motion, balance and proprioception. From simple mat-based exercises to fullyintegrated protocols on specialized equipment, therapists will learn the movement theory and hands-on exercise sequences needed to help patients improve their activities of daily living (ADLs).

“Pilates was originally developed as a method of rehabilitation, and it continues to grow and evolve as more people recognize the benefits, particularly the physical therapy and rehabilitation communities,” said Nora St. John, Balanced Body Program Education Director.

“Pilates has the power to impact everyone and anyone, regardless of age, gender, level of
function or fitness, and this program will teach professionals how to modify the routine to fit
the needs of every patient.”

Balanced Body’s newest program is aimed at professionals looking to offer Pilates or CoreAlign
exercises as an addition to their treatment toolbox or as a standalone program to improve
patient outcomes, expand wellness offerings and increase self-pay income. The courses are
taught by Balanced Body Physical Therapist and Rehabilitation Master Instructors, all of whom
have 10+ years of clinical experience in their practices.

“Pilates is a critical component in physical therapy because it keep patients engaged, motivated
and connected to the therapist,” said Lindy Royer, PT, NCPT Founder, Park Meadows Center for
Movement. “This new education program from Balanced Body will help therapists and patients
achieve far greater results and faster recovery times by integrating a variety of Pilates exercises
and modalities as part of their treatment plans.”
