My Success Story
After shattering my arm, having 13 screws put in and spending months recovering, the surgeon let me exercise again. When I started back to Pilates on the equipment, it was pretty depressing. I could not raise my arm beyond 15 degrees from my side. I couldn’t get my balance to do most basic exercises such as pointing and flexing my toes. It’s funny how an injury in one part of your body can have such a large impact on the whole body.
Slowly, my balance improved, my arm regained more strength and mobility, and within three months, I was able to raise my arm to 180 degrees most days. I was finally able to fasten my own bra and put on my own pullover tops.
My depression quickly faded and I saw myself transform from a crippled old lady to a functioning member of society thanks to Pilates and the skilled staff at k Pilates studio. Months later at a check up, my surgeon was shocked to see how quickly I healed and my plate was removed earlier due to my improvement.
More than a year later, I take Pilates sessions twice a week and recently threw 97 bales of hay onto a flatbed. I am so thankful to k Pilates for their skill, empathy and perseverance in getting me back to normal and now for keeping me fit and feisty!
