You may have heard about Pilates (pronounced puh LAH teez), a form of fitness training, but how does it help your body?
Pilates combines strength and flexibility training, using exercises that tone and condition the entire body. Particular attention is paid to building and developing the area of the body called the “powerhouse,” the core region of the body that includes the abdomen, pelvis, lower back and buttocks.
Pilates also creates a powerful mind-body connection, developed through proper breathing technique and concentration on smooth body movements to achieve better mental and physical health and reduce stress.
Some of the benefits of Pilates include:
- Increases flexibility and agility
- Develops muscle strength
- Reduces stress
- Provides effective rehabilitation for injuries
- Flattens abdominals and strengthens back muscles
- Provides a gentle, low-impact, whole body workout
- Increases energy, invigorates the body
- Strengthens the mind-body connection
- Alleviates back pain
- Improves body posture and movement
Initially, our office provided traditional therapeutic exercise services to our patients. However, in 2003, we began offering the Stott Pilates repetoire to our patients, which has proven to be far more effective than traditional therapeutic exercises. The pilates rehabilitative exercise program has enabled patients of all fitness levels and ages to strengthen and tone muscles much faster and safer than traditional therapy had in the past. Patients enjoy pilates and are so pleased with their results that they often choose to continue pilates at the on-site studio after the completion of their rehabilitative therapy.
Pilates itself was developed in the 1920’s by a German gymnast and boxer, who became a nurse, Joseph Pilates. Afflicted with many physical problems, he used pilates to assist hospitalized patients with their rehab exercises. Known as the premier pilates method world-wide, Stott™ pilates can be performed with or without equipment and is safe for everyone.
Pilates is the ideal method to strengthen and tone muscles, improve posture, strengthen the spine, flatten the stomach and improve flexibility. Pilates improves stamina levels, reduces stress and brings the mind in tune with the body.
We are a fully equipped facility with the following:
- Reformers
- Cadillac
- Stability Chairs
- Spine Correctors
- Ladder and Arc Barrels
Pilates is a weight bearing exercise that improves strength and neuromuscular coordination. Safer than lifting weights with less tension and stress on the joints, Reformer exercises allow patients, especially those who experience pain with other fitness regimens to gently strengthen key muscles by providing adjustable resistance using spring tension.
The focus on muscular imbalances due to injury, postural problems or over straining makes pilates the ideal method to help train the muscles. Additional benefits include increased lung capacity, increased circulation through healthy breath patterns, strength, flexibility, coordination, posture and balance. Bone density and joint health also improve with this safe, weight bearing form of exercise, which also increases body awareness.

If you'd like to take group personal training on pilates equipment for general health and wellness, classes are offered through the pilates studio, Breath of Vitatlity.
I just left Carradine Chiropractic and I was blown away. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical and scared. I am 38 years old I have had 3 hip surgeries and have RA. my back has been bothering me for 2 weeks and I have had unbearable pain the last 2 days. I woke up at 5am crying and being so uncomfortable that I wanted to scream (I actually might of a couple times). my daughter drove me to my appointment and was amazed when she seen my legs line up while on the table. There was no twisting, pulling, or cracking. after I stood up I wiggled my hips! did you hear me!? amazing. Now yes I still have some muscle soreness but I was able to walk, shut my own car door (I couldn't do that on my way there), and ride in the car pain free! thank you

I recommend her any time someone needs a chiropractor. She's thorough, to the point, & her technique I've never seen before. I have scoliosis & didn't realize how much of my health it affected & how much pain I've actually "accepted" over the years until my treatment with her was finished. Best chiropractor.

The staff at Carradine chiropractic truly listens to the patient and creates a customized plan of treatment that is gentle but very effective. I would recommend their treatment plans and services to anyone as I have had great results dealing with my severe back and neck pain. The entire staff makes your experience very relaxing and effective and you’re not just another number you are treated like the most important patient and they will do whatever is needed to provide you with the correct and effective services

Dr. Carradine and her staff are WONDERFUL! She is always available for same day appointments, and is flexible around all work schedules. She offers many different types of therapies to help with pain, and they really focused on what works best for each patient& their recovery process. The office is very clean and peaceful. Bedside manner is VERY important to me & my family, and Dr. Carradine and her staff were kind, compassionate, and efficient! It was a great experience.

Dr. Carradine took the time and the effort to explain all of my treatment options before I began. Once I started treatment I found Dr. Carradine to be an extremely knowledgeable, caring and thorough doctor committed to improving my condition. She communicates well and actually listens to what I have to say! The gentle techniques used by Dr. Carradine were different from those that I experienced in the past. Because of this, she explained the reasoning behind everything she did. The results have been amazing! Dr. Carradine"s staff is also excellent. They make you feel very comfortable during treatment, and truly care about your health. They are professionals in every sense of the word. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Carradine to anyone wishing to improve their health.

The staff is excellent and professional. Dr. Carradine's care was clear, straightforward and outstanding, I feel 100%. I was used to a "snap, crack and pop" type of chiropractor. Dr. Carradine's approach is gentle, but gets the job done and is so effective. I highly recommend them.

I have scoliosis and have suffered back pain all of my life. After going to Dr. Carradine, my pain level has been greatly reduced l and have even experienced pain free days! She is very knowledgeable. The office is beautiful with a calming atmosphere. There is never a long wait time and often you can schedule same day appointments. There is no pain during the adjustment and you are in and out in no time! I would and have recommended her to many friends and family.
Laura T
Overall great experience! I had the best adjustment I’ve ever received and I’ve tried multiple chiropractors over the course of ten years for hip problems due to athletics. The facility is so nice and clean and they had such a kind staff who made my experience that much better. I’ll never go anywhere else!

I recently injured my left knee and needed an early morning appointment. They offered me a 7:30 am appt. which is when they open. However, that wasn't early enough for me because I had to be somewhere else at 8 am that's 45 minutes away. I needed a 7 am appointment, so they opened early just for me! Very accommodating...I've never had a drs office do that for me before.
Joan B
The office staff is extremely nice & patient. There willing to work with you on scheduling & very understanding !! The office is always clean and they do a great job of getting you in & out. I feel much better after multiple appointments for my back. The chiropractor is really thorough and detailed. I would recommend.
Alexis S
I can not express in words how much better I feel in such a short time. I am a 48 years old athletic female with a torn Meniscus and ACL in my left knee, degenerative damage in my neck and a fracture in my lower back. I came to Dr. Denise Carradine ready to throw in the towel, accept the fact I'm getting older ; my body is breaking down finally (basically I wasn't expecting much). I could barely walk a mile , ride my bike, or bend to garden, After two weeks of Acupuncture and Chiropractic therapy, I feel like I am 20 again. The exercise that I had been doing and getting no results suddenly my body is responding. My appetite has suppressed ,my energy and motivation is back. I feel great. I feel like myself again. I RECOMMEND visiting Denise.
Adena B
The most efficient medical office I have ever been to. I was being treated two minutes after walking in. The Doctor and assistants were always very caring and friendly.
Dan S
Dr. Carradine is the best! The staff are very nice and helpful. After suffering with pain for over 9 years I finally have some relief since I've been going here. She is very good at acupuncture and chiropractic care. She's very knowledgeable and helps her patients with a gentle approach. She's thorough as well as listens to her patients and their needs.
