Gentle, individually tailored sessions for people who want to move with more confidence.
Please read first. Pilates On Fifth provides exercise instruction, not medical care. Back pain and sciatica can have many causes, so please see your doctor or physical therapist before you begin, and tell us what they said.
How we work with you
Pilates uses springs that support the body, which lets many people with back discomfort move in ways that feel difficult on the floor or at the gym. We begin with a conversation about your history, what aggravates your symptoms and what you want to get back to. We then choose movements around your comfort, and we change or stop anything that does not feel right.
Why private sessions come first
When you are managing back pain, one-on-one attention matters. A private session lets your instructor watch every movement and adjust the springs, the position and the pace for you. Many clients then move into duo or small group sessions as they feel stronger. For a more detailed assessment, Dave C. Bryan offers a one-hour consultation for injuries and special circumstances.
What clients often work on
- Core and hip strength that supports the spine
- Posture and how you sit, stand and walk
- Gentle spinal movement within a comfortable range
- Breathing and relaxation
Common questions
Will Pilates cure my back pain? We cannot promise that, and we do not diagnose or treat medical conditions. Many people find that regular, well-guided movement helps them feel stronger and more comfortable. Your doctor or physical therapist is the right person for diagnosis.
Should I stop seeing my physical therapist? No. Pilates works alongside your care. We are happy to talk with your provider, with your permission.
What if something hurts during a session? Tell your instructor right away. We modify or stop.
