We walk. We jog. We run. We squat. We stand. We sit.

​

Our existence is centered around alternating bouts of movement and static postures. Have we truly thought about how important our habitual quality of movement is, or how maintaining optimal postural muscle control might reduce our risk of injury?

 

The MoveWell vision is to promote healthy bodies and healthy lives. Optimization of movement combined with fitness is our specialty. In other words, MoveWell Pilates + Fitness teaches you and trains you to achieve physical fitness while also maintaining safe body mechanics, efficient movement patterning, and pain-free mobility.
