What should I wear?

Wear comfortable, form-fitting clothing that allows freedom of movement. Grip socks are optional but recommended for reformer sessions. A water bottle is suggested.

How do I know if I need physical therapy or if I need to do Pilates?

You qualify for physical therapy if you have pain that limits you in your daily activities. For example, if you find yourself avoiding squatting because of knee or hip pain, or maybe you can only stand for 10 minutes before your back starts to hurt. It could be that every time you reach overhead to put a dish away, your shoulder hurts. 

The transition to solely practicing Pilates, transitions when you’re no longer feeling limited in your movement by pain or discomfort. Pilates helps to support whatever your movement goals may be! You may be someone who wants to improve mobility, prevent injury, optimize posture, and enhance athletic performance or everyday movement.

At Resilience Physical Therapy & Pilates we use Pilates based exercises to help you achieve your movement goals, pain or no pain!

Do you take insurance?

We work for you and not your insurance company. Our hour-long sessions are tailored to you and your needs. Without insurance restrictions limiting us, we can achieve and accomplish a lot more and in a lot less time. We provide superbills at the end of each session upon request, for you to submit to your insurance company for out-of-network reimbursement.

Do you take HSA/FSA cards?

Yes! Many clients use their Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) for physical therapy services. We provide itemized receipts called Superbills that you can submit for reimbursement if needed.

Do I need a referral or prescription from a doctor for physical therapy?

Getting care shouldn’t mean waiting weeks for a doctor’s appointment. At Resilience Physical Therapy & Pilates, you can start treatment right away. Thanks to Michigan’s Direct Access law, physical therapists can see you for up to 21 days or 10 visits without a physician’s referral. After that, a doctor's note is required to continue care. That means you don’t have to delay addressing your pain or movement concerns—just reach out, and we’ll help you get started on your path to recovery and wellness.

What can Pilates help with?

Pilates brings attention and awareness to your movement. It improves core strength, flexibility, and mobility, while enhancing posture and balance. It’s great for injury prevention, rehabilitation, and improving athletic performance. Pilates also promotes mindful movement and body awareness, making it ideal for all ages. By focusing on controlled, precise movements, it supports longevity, reduces pain, and helps you move more efficiently in daily life and sports.

What Pilates is not..

Pilates is not a replacement for strength training, cardio, or other components of fitness. It’s a complementary practice that supports your overall wellness. While Pilates enhances core strength, flexibility, and mobility, it’s not designed to provide the same benefits as high-intensity cardio or heavy lifting. Instead, Pilates helps improve movement quality, posture, and body awareness, making it easier to succeed in all your fitness goals and daily activities. It’s about working smarter, not harder, so you can move better and feel better in everything you do.
