IM=X PILATES SPINE CARE PROGRAM

Spine Care Specialist, Kris O'Leary-Hayes, PTA

The IM=X Spine Care Program offers an opportunity for patients who have completed their rehabilitative program to continue with a spine care exercise program that is designed to be safe and effective.   The program can also be utilized as an alternative to traditional therapeutic exercise should the health care professional determine that this would be appropriate for his or her client.   This unique program has also been designed as a preventive care program for those patients who might be at risk of injury without further spine stabilization exercises.
