Polestar is a worldwide provider of rehabilitation-based Pilates education and was founded in 1992 by Brent Anderson PhD, PT, OCS and Elizabeth Larkam MA. The purpose was to train rehabilitation specialists who were interested in integrating Pilates evolved work into their current practices. The concept is to provide rehabilitation to patients with Pilates-evolved techniques while including manual therapy, movement science and body awareness. Pilates can be used across a wide variety of patient populations including high-level athletes, weekend warriors and the elderly.

At Rebound, Pilates is used in a way that combines our extensive background in movement science, manual therapy and Pilates-evolved exercises and not only the exercise repertoire alone. We also utilize Pilates equipment including the Mat and small apparatus, the Reformer and Trapeze Table to aid in patient education of correct body movement patterns when poor strength / control are an issue. With our extensive training and knowledge as physical therapists we are able to take into consideration the patients diagnosis and apply the appropriate combination of manual techniques and Pilates-evolved exercises based on the medical model and patients stage of injury / healing. With this knowledge we can apply the principles of Pilates to assist the patient in performing the most appropriate exercise strategy during the rehabilitation stage and beyond.
