→●Finding balance between pushing rehab clients and boosting their confidence is key to building trust

“Working with prosthetics can be insanely frustrating because they don’t always do what I want them to do when I want them to do it. Carlo is good at identifying when I’m being a little bit of a brat or when it’s really pissing me off and causing great frustration,” Alex says.

“My rehab a very physical thing, sometimes there’s room to push me and sometimes we just have to roll it back, and return to an exercise I know I can do to rebuild my confidence and belief in myself— and then we try again.”

Despite those challenges and frustrations, Alex still thinks Pilates has been worth the effort. “The improvements are not always obvious, or as easy to identify as say lifting heavy weights at the gym, but I feel the differences in my body, in how I move and hold myself,” Alex says.

“I recommend Pilates to everyone, not just amputees.”
