Pilates-Based Rehab and Programs

Strengthen your core from the inside out, protect your joints, and move with confidence without relying on endless appointments, pills, or procedures.

We Use Pilates to Help You Move Better and Live Fully

At CJ Physical Therapy & Pilates, we use Pilates equipment – Reformer, Tower, and Chair – in a specialized, rehab-focused way that helps people 40+ recover from pain, prevent injury, and build lasting strength.

Pilates isn’t just exercise – it’s a powerful system that retrains your body to move the way it was designed to: with precision, coordination, and control. Under the guidance of our Physical Therapy Specialists, you’ll learn how to move better, get stronger safely, and keep pain away for years to come.

Curious if Pilates-based Rehab is the missing piece for you?

Rehab-First Approach

Every program is developed through a physical therapy lens. We use Pilates as part of a complete recovery and wellness system, not just a fitness class

Built for People 40+

We specialize in helping adults who are done with quick fixes and want lasting results. We meet your body where it is and build from there.

Results That Stick

Because 60 really can be the new 40 if your body is moving the way it should. Our goal is to get you there and keep you there.

We're not a Pilates studio.
We're a physical therapy practice that uses Pilates.

Whether you’re recovering from back pain, managing chronic stiffness, or simply want to stay active and mobile as you age, our specialized programs are designed to get you results that last.

I am so thrilled to have found CJ Physical Therapy & Pilates. I am definitely a long-term fan. I love their Pilates classes and the quality of their Pilates instructors. They have helped everyone in the class progress while making sure we progress safely. I definitely feel the difference in my core. I recommend both to all my friends and anyone reading this review.

I recently took a beginning Pilates class at CJPT. It was challenging and rewarding. The instructors are very knowledgeable and good teachers. Everyone got individual attention and guidance doing each exercise. Alternative approaches were given, which allowed each of us to achieve success. Thanks for a great class! It was very worthwhile.
