GENERAL INFORMATION

The most common type of vertigo is called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) and is appreciated by a feeling that your world is spinning or moving.  It occurs with sudden head motions, usually rolling in bed or change in position.  Other forms of vertigo can be associated with horizontal motions.  The anatomy of the inner ear and the specific areas affected will impact the type of vertigo and associated head eye movements that can precipitate and cause the attack.

SYMPTOMS OF VERTIGO

  • Symptoms are associated with the anatomical area affected
  • Abnormal eye movements
  • Appreciation of the room spinning
  • Duration minutes to hours, days to weeks
  • Constant or associated with certain head movements
  • Hearing loss or tinnitus
  • Visual disturbances, nystagmus

REHABILITATION

  • Assessment of the balance system: sensorimotor, visual, and vestibular
  • Specific eye exercises
  • Specific head motions
  • Sensory integration
  • Maneuvers specific to vertigo etiology
  • Home exercise program

Meet Wanessa, Pilates Instructor

Welcome to our Pilates family! I'm Wanessa, and I'm thrilled to introduce you to the world of Pilates through my journey and passion. My story is one of inspiration, dedication, and a deep commitment to helping you achieve your wellness goals.
I'm not just a Pilates instructor; I'm also a proud mother to an incredible sixteen-year-old named Michael. Beyond the studio, I wear the hat of a private Uber driver for Michael, a role that keeps me grounded and continuously motivated. He's not just my son; he's my daily source of inspiration. Every Pilates class, every project I embark upon, and every interaction with my clients is driven by the thought of how these experiences can enrich our lives and shape a better future.

About Pilates

Enhance Your Wellbeing Through Mindful Movement Welcome to the world of Pilates – a holistic approach to physical fitness and mental well-being that has been transforming lives for decades. Pilates is more than just a workout; it's a philosophy, a lifestyle, and a path to unlocking your body's full potential.
My journey into the world of Pilates unfolded organically, guided by my passion for physical training. As a dedicated runner, yogi, and cross-fit athlete, I was always in search of something more. That was until Pilates entered my life. Joining classes with my friend Lauren at "American Muscle/Empower," I had a profound realization – I had found my calling. The search was over, and I knew I had to dedicate myself to Pilates and share this transformative gift with others.

How We Help

What makes a great Pilates instructor is someone passionate, dedicated, caring, motivated, and innovative.

Origins and Philosophy

Pilates was developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates, a visionary who believed in the interconnectedness of physical and mental health.

Mind-Body Connection

At the heart of Pilates is the concept of the mind-body connection. Every movement is executed with a deep focus on breath, alignment, and awareness.

Core Strength-Stability

One of the pillars of Pilates is the emphasis on core strength. The "powerhouse," as Joseph Pilates called it, encompasses your abdominal muscles, lower back, hips, and glutes.

Versatility and Adaptability

Pilates is a versatile practice that can be tailored to various fitness levels and needs.

Benefits Beyond the Mat

Regular Pilates practice can lead to improved posture, enhanced body awareness, reduced stress, and increased overall mental clarity.
