Pilates is a great way to facilitate multi-dimensional movement with low impact to protect the joints. The dynamic movement can mimic many sports and helps with engaging the correct muscles while the body moves in complex ways.

What is multi- dimensional movement?

Multi-dimensional movement helps physical therapists see how a patient moves from head to toe, making it an important tool in therapy. This enables PTs to formulate customized treatment strategies that target specific problem areas while working the whole body, minimize injury risk, and expedite recovery.

This three dimensional study of body movement helps track a patient’s movements accurately. This helps understand the patient’s muscle activity, joint / fascial movements, and overall range of motion. Utilizing this three dimensional movement supports in evaluating muscle disparities, and monitoring progress over time.
