INJURY RECOVERY

Laura Peralta every time you get injured, your body gets misalign to compensate, asymmetry starts to build up and your recovery time will be longer.
get align by your chiropractor, and then use PILATES as the only way to recover the symmetry and hold the alignment in place. our studio offers the best instructors in this field, trained to adjust the exercise for you and recover in 1/3rd of the time!!! BE HEATHY, BE MOVING

PT has a very different approach from 21st CENTURY PILATES. they focus in the problem area, working through the pain.

we have a holistic approach. We work the muscles strengthening all around it to protect the injury from reoccurring or going worst. we releive the tension from compensating in the complementary muscles or the other side, by stretching and lengthening.
Don't stop moving all together, our class and DVDs works your whole body, taking extra oxygen, blood flow and nutrients into the damaged area. Your recovery will be in one third of the time.
NEVER WORK OUT THROUGH PAIN. work around it to avoid irritation.
Always tell your instructor so she will be aware and will help you stay in control.
THIS IS THE ONLY BODY THAT YOU HAVE, take care of it in a healthy respectful way, and it will give the performance you want.

so much of 21stCenturyPilates is the art in finding different adaptations when somebody is injured, or stiff or has pain.
remembering that the origins of Pilates was PT, at the studio we are excelling in creating and doing movement research for each injury protection and fast recovery.
when there is pain your body is saying "STOP doing that", we have been badly trained is associating the 80's motto "no pain no gain". Let us all send the PT bill to the person that imprinted this in the media.

Our studio has the opposite view, all our instructors follow it strictly, you feel pain, then do this exersice, still come every class, bc moving the rest of our body, helps the healing process and provides the symetry lost in a injury as we compensate.
make sure that you always tell your teacher what feels painful, we are fantastic at adapting it for you.

share your experience of recovery when coming to our Pilates class

THE BEST SOUP. BUTTER SQUAHS healthy, nutritious and low kal

Here you go!

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon butter
½ onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic
2 sprigs fresh thyme
½ butternut squash – peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes
4 cups chicken stock
½ cube chicken bouillon
1 pinch ground cumin
1 pinch ground allspice
Salt & Pepper to taste

Melt butter in large pot over medium heat. Cook onion, garlic and Thyme in the butter until onion has softened, about 5 minutes. Add the squash and chicken stock; bring to a simmer and cook until the squash is tender. 10 to 15 minutes. Crumble the bouillon into the soup; season with cumin, allspice, salt and pepper, remove from heat.

Pour soup into blender, filing the pitcher no more than halfway. Hold lid of blender in place with a kitchen towel and carefully start the blender using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a serving bowl.

Very yummy – I actually used a whole squash.
