Our Wellness Therapies
Here at Proto Pilates, we believe that optimal wellness begins with a good workout, but it certainly doesn't end there.
Joseph Pilates believed in the "complete coordination of mind, body, and spirit" and aimed throughout his lifetime to shed light on the ever present mind-body connection. A man well ahead of his time, Pilates believed a healthy body and mind is the normal human condition, but modern living and every day stressors erode our health and deplete our vitality. A holistic approach to fitness and wellness has always been at the core of the Pilates method.
​
Today, as modern neuroscience continues to move mind-body research to the mainstream, there is surmounting evidence of this link: Just as a movement practice like Pilates affects the stress level, mood and health of the mind in a positive way, so too does a regulated nervous system influence the healthy functioning of the physical body.
Proto Pilates offers innovative wellness therapies based on cutting edge technology to supplement your Pilates practice and support your optimal wellbeing.
Infrared PEMF Therapy
PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field energy. Backed by research, PEMF technology has an impressive list of benefits. Historically, astronauts have used this technology to recover from long and arduous space missions upon returning to Earth!
When you lie on the mat, electromagnetic waves gently pulse through the body, mimicking the earth's natural gravitational field. PEMF works to ground the body, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation on a deep cellular level.
Our mat also features deep penetrating infrared heat which enhances PEMF effects and speeds up the body's recovery time.
An additional 20-pound layer of crystals within the mat neutralizes free radicals, raises serotonin levels and boosts mood, all by reducing negative ions in the body.
​
Available as a stand-alone 30 minute service. Can also be combined with Neurofeedback Performance Training. Or, try a private Pilates session with infrared PEMF therapy for a unique and truly transformative experience.
