The power of Pilates

Pilates is a form of controlled, low-impact and easily adjustable resistance training, developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century.

What sets us apart is our innovative use of Pilates equipment, and the support of skilled physical therapy practitioners. Our specialized equipment offers a gentle form of exercise for building core strength without causing discomfort. This, along with other targeted exercises, allows us to help you develop long, lean muscles, improve flexibility, and reduce injury risk.

Our goal is not just to treat, but also to equip you with self-management tools for your health. We believe in the power of exercise to not only heal the body but also to create a resilient mind-body connection, leading to a healthier life. Experience the transformation with Bijoy’s clinical pilates.

Our approach is patient-centric. Our therapists listen attentively to your concerns and conduct a detailed assessment to identify the source of your pain. This allows us to provide a tailored treatment plan that won't exacerbate your symptoms but instead promote healing and relief, wellness and longevity.
