1. How do
I begin at BodyWorks?
The
initial consultation will consist of a medical history
discussion, postural evaluation, physical assessments, and
either a bodywork session or a movement therapy session
depending on the client's personal needs. To

2.
How many times does one need to attend a Pilates session per
week?
Each
client requires different needs, depending on whether
rehabilitation is in order, or a general conditioning
program is desired. Radonna and staff recommend 2-3 sessions
per week to benefit a client's goal, along with emphasis in
pursuing cardiovascular workouts on off days from
BodyWorks.
3.
What is the difference in bodywork and
massage?
We
regard bodywork as a "process-oriented" pursuit to general
good health, focusing on chronic pain patterns,
mis-alignment, and neuromuscular problems. We also
specialize in Swedish techniques that allows a client to
relax and be nurtured.
4.
What is the difference in
GYROTONIC®
sessions
versus Pilates sessions, and how do you distinguish the
client's needs?
Each
methodology provides a unique form of movement therapy.
While Pilates establishes a strong core through a linear
format, utilizing spring tension on various pieces of
equipment, GYROTONIC®
movements allow freedom of range of motion in a circular
flow using a sophisticated apparatus. Both methods are
beneficial for everyone, but at BodyWorks we personalize
each client's needs and desires based upon our expertise and
training.
5.
Do you design home programs if one cannot attend BodyWorks
on a regular basis?
Yes!
Many of our clients travel and cannot be consistent in their
therapeutic workouts on our premises, so we create a
personalized home program for maintenance. These exercises
are derived from use with therabands, physioballs, exercises
taken from the Pilates Mat programs and
GYROKINESIS®.
6.
What makes BodyWorks different than other facilities in the
area?
We
specialize in treating each individual uniquely, even in our
semi-private sessions. Integrating bodywork with movement
therapy has been Radonna's approach for the past 16 years.
Although BodyWorks is not the only studio that offers this
approach to treatment and fitness, BodyWorks was the first
studio in North Carolina to introduce Pilates and its
benefits associated with hands-on manual therapy. BodyWorks
was also the first studio to host
GYROTONIC®
and GYROKINESIS®
trainings in North Carolina.
