Holistic Therapies to Support Your Practice
To get the most out of your Dynamic Reformer Pilates sessions, recovery and self-care are just as important as the workout itself. Here are some of our favorite therapies to help your body reset, recover, and perform at its best.
Magnesium & Epsom Salt Baths
Magnesium plays a vital role in muscle recovery and relaxation. A soak in an Epsom salt bath after class can help ease soreness, reduce inflammation, and promote better sleep.
Foam Rolling & Myofascial Release
A foam roller is your best friend for releasing tight muscles and improving mobility. Regular use helps prevent stiffness and keeps your body aligned for better performance on the Reformer.
Cold Therapy & Ice Baths
Cold exposure reduces muscle soreness, boosts circulation, and enhances recovery time. Whether it’s an ice bath, cryotherapy, or a quick cold shower, it’s a game-changer for active bodies.
Infrared Sauna & Heat Therapy
For deep muscle relaxation, nothing beats heat therapy. Infrared saunas help detoxify, improve circulation, and ease muscle tension—perfect after an intense class.
Mobility & Stretching Sessions
Regular stretching keeps your body fluid and injury-free. Incorporate Pilates-inspired mobility drills to maintain flexibility and prevent tightness between classes.
Lymphatic Drainage & Massage Therapy
A lymphatic drainage massage can help reduce bloating, improve circulation, and speed up muscle recovery—leaving you feeling lighter and more energized.
Acupuncture & Dry Needling
For those who experience chronic tightness or muscle imbalances, acupuncture or dry needling can help release tension and improve overall movement patterns.
Mindfulness & Meditation
Pilates is as much about mental clarity as it is about physical strength. Adding meditation or breathwork into your routine can enhance focus, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being.
Pilates is just the beginning—support your body beyond the Reformer and feel the difference.
