Pilates in Cottonwood Heights

Controlled, low-impact work on the reformer and the mat, built around core stability, posture and mobility rather than intensity.

Strength without strain.

Pilates is a full-body method built on controlled, precise movement. Instead of loading you heavily, it works core stability, posture and functional movement patterns. That is why it suits an athlete and someone three weeks out of surgery equally well, and why it is one of the few things you can do while something still hurts.

Sessions run on the mat and on equipment: reformers, chairs and barrels, which add resistance in one direction and support in the other. Dr. Jessica Bauerkemper, PT, DPT, AIB Cert-VR, co-owner of the clinic, is a certified Pilates instructor. Every session is tailored to you, blending resistance work, stretching and breathwork.

For the body that needs control before it needs load.

Stiffness, weakness and posture are the core of it. Pilates works as well after surgery as it does for an athlete chasing cleaner movement.

What a session actually looks like.

Mat and Equipment Work

Strengthening and stretching across the mat and the equipment. Reformers, chairs and barrels give you resistance in one direction and support in the other, which is what lets you work hard without loading a painful joint.

Core Activation and Breath

Work on the deep stabilizing muscles, paired with controlled breathing. This is the part that makes the strength hold under real movement instead of collapsing the moment you stop thinking about it.

Alignment and Mobility

Endurance, flexibility and range of motion built alongside the movement mechanics that protect your joints. Every session is guided, and technique gets corrected as you go rather than after.

A stronger middle changes everything above and below it.

Pilates targets the deep abdominal muscles, the lower back and the hips. That is the foundation the rest of your movement is built on.

Stronger Core, Better Movement

A strong foundation reduces back pain, improves balance, and makes everyday motion efficient and pain-free.

Improved Flexibility

Controlled stretching and lengthening increase mobility and take the stiffness out of your movement.

Fewer Injuries

Correcting muscle imbalance and restricted movement removes the conditions that cause the injury in the first place.

Better Posture and Stability

Postural awareness and movement control take strain off the spine and joints, which is what protects them long term.
