Living with Back Pain Can Be Frustrating

Back pain often affects much more than your back…

It can make it difficult to:

  • Exercise

  • Travel

  • Sleep comfortably

  • Garden or work in the yard

  • Play with your grandchildren

  • Enjoy hobbies and daily activities

Many of our clients come to us after trying physical therapy, injections, chiropractic care, massage, or traditional fitness programs and are looking for a safe, guided way to continue building strength and confidence.

  • Core strength

  • Postural awareness

  • Mobility and flexibility

How is Empower Different?

“One of the best PT and Pilates places I have ever been to” - Sandy

Unlike traditional Pilates studios, our approach is rooted in movement science and rehabilitation. We combine the benefits of Pilates with the clinical expertise of Physical Therapy.

Every session is:

  • One-on-one

  • Individualized to your diagnosis, symptoms, and goals

  • Guided by rehab-trained instructors

  • Overseen by Doctors of Physical Therapy

  • Progressed at a pace that feels right for you

We understand that a person recovering from spinal fusion has different needs than someone managing stenosis or chronic back stiffness.

That's why we never use a one-size-fits-all approach.

What to Expect:

  • An Initial Visit

    • We'll learn about your health history, current activity level, goals, and any concerns you may have.

  • A Personalized Plan

    • We'll develop a program tailored specifically to you.

  • Ongoing Progression!

    • As your strength and confidence improve, we'll continue progressing your exercises to help you reach your goals.
