Our name has changed! Formerly Integrative Rehabilitation Physical Therapy and Bodies in Balance Pilates Studio, we are now Bodies in Balance. Why have we changed our name? Chattanooga has embraced the idea of Pilates not only as a form of conditioning but also as a valuable rehabilitation tool. Lisa and other Physical Therapists have known and experienced the power of Pilates in the movement re-education and rehabilitation field for several years.

We are a specialty Pilates studio located in North Chattanooga. We not only offer high caliber Pilates classes and private instruction, but also Pilates-based Physical Therapy, general Physical Therapy, and private strength and conditioning sessions.

Our vision is to not only provide rehabilitation, but also injury prevention and conditioning programs. Our services are intended for the general fitness individual with or without previous experience, the team sport participant, the weekend warrior, the athletic individual, and the post-rehabilitation conditioning client who needs assistance in filling the gap between the end of formal rehabilitation and the return to full athletic/recreational activities.

Services offered include:

• Individualized strength and conditioning programs to achieve sports-related goals such as speed, technique improvement (climbing, running, biking, hiking, dance, basketball, et cetera), endurance, agility, power, and strength. These programs may or may not include Pilates-based exercises, depending upon the client's needs.
  
• Individualized strength and conditioning programs for the general fitness individual whether new to exercise or experienced.
• Individualized strength and conditioning programs for the dance student.
  
• Private or semi-private (2 participants) Pilates sessions.
  
• Small group Pilates classes (8 participants).
• Appropriate age groups include pre and post-adolescents.
• Pilates-based rehabilitation is now available.
  

Pilates-based programs provide:

• Core stabilization instruction - excellent for spinal care of any stage.
  
• Improved overall strength, flexibility, and symmetry.
  
• Highly adaptable programs to meet individual orthopedic and neurological
  limitations.
  
• Improved postural and body awareness.
