Common questions

Can I still do Pilates after a hip or knee replacement?

Yes. We have worked with hundreds of clients with hip or knee replacements, shoulder injuries, and broken toes, feet, or wrists, and we can modify exercises for nearly any orthopedic issue. Many people say Pilates helps with pre-hab or rehab after surgery.

Should I start with a private session or a class?

Either can work. A private session gives you one-on-one attention tailored to your recovery. Reformer Foundations is a welcoming way to learn the basics in a small class. Ask us if you are unsure.

Do I need my surgeon's approval?

Check with your surgeon or physical therapist before you start, and tell your instructor about your recovery.
