Pilates

For me, the best part about Pilates at Elite Health Services is that not only are you receiving great personal attention from a very qualified teacher, but you also have the support of the personal trainers and physical therapists to insure you get the most from your workout.

I’m not a person who loves exercise. After discovering Corey Anne Radtke and experiencing her patient, calm, and encouraging teaching style, Pilates became something that was doable for me, and I enjoyed it. I have been working with Corey 2x a week for almost 3 years now, and not only has she has helped me overcome a serious plantar fasciitis issue; I am now stronger and have lost a size and a half in my butt!

In 1994 I suffered a severe cervical spinal injury. I endured a cervical fusion and a lumbar discectomy.  Since then I have been very limited in the types of exercise I could tolerate, and have constantly aggravated my spinal weaknesses.  In 2013 I learned about Corey, tried a private class, and was immediately hooked. Corey is a knowledgeable and inspiring teacher.  She watches closely for proper body alignment and offers alternate positions when necessary.  After 6 months of regular classes, I noticed an improvement in flexibility, strength, and muscle tone.  Corey made it possible for me to relax in her care and retrain my body to move in a healthier way. Thanks to Corey's expertise and diligence, I have been injury-free, and stronger in my body and mind.

Pilates at Elite Health Services with Corey Anne Radtke is a key component to my post-surgery routine to increase strength and improve my flexibility.   Corey combines enthusiasm and technical precision to ensure that I am both challenged, and deriving maximum benefit from deep core strengthening and lengthening of my muscles. I have come to expect nothing short of the highest standards of professionalism and expertise in every service that Elite offers.  Corey and the Pilates program are topnotch.

I am now able to sleep through the night without pain and can do activities and sports that four years ago, would have been impossible!  I can thank my Pilates teacher Corey Anne Radtke, and my physical therapist Dr. Tara Gibson as well as the coordinated care at Elite Health Services.

I limped into my Zoom with you this morning, my entire right side was sore and stiff, as it has been the last several days. After a great hour of your guiding me through stretching and Pilates movements, I ended my session today feeling much less pain, even my chronic neck stiffness was alleviated, and my ongoing right hip discomfort is almost gone. As much as I looked forward to all of my reformer sessions with you since we began working together last September, our Zoom sessions we've done since mid-March have become as important to me as the reformer sessions had been. I'm so appreciative of your efforts to keep my body in good working order! Onward!
