BASI incorporates a contemporary experience and scientific knowledge to expand upon the work and intensions of the original creator of Pilates, Joseph Pilates.
What are the benefits of incorporating BASI method into therapeutic program?
The utilization of the BASI Pilates method into a therapeutic rehab program allows patients to learn the art of controlled movements to improve flexibility, strength and endurance. Pilates emphasizes breath, alignment, strength (abdominals, pelvic floor, hips, lower back and shoulder girdle), coordination and balance as necessary to improve overall stability, fitness and quality of life. Your BASI trained physical therapist will design a program with a unique set of exercises geared to optimally treat your specific symptoms and achieve your individualized goals.
