My experience with the Pilates system is fantastic. I wish insurance would allow it for reconditioning after injuries.
For 12 months my back and hip and legs hurt almost every day and after strenuous exercise. Walking was difficult due to hip pain. My insurance denied me physical therapy after 2 months of bed rest following a car accident while seven months pregnant. I was induced 40 weeks because my pain was so great I couldn't walk.. After moving to Maui I searched for private instruction in core strengthening. Mabelle was the only who returned my call. After my FIRST SESSION with Mabelle I had 80% pain relief. The next months were difficult and I had to take a break for several weeks after each 5 or 10 sessions due to changes that increased my pain. MRI, neg, x-rays neg, nerve studies neg, they told me there was no explanation for my condition but cleared me to continue with Mabelle.
I grew stronger, leaner, straighter and 3 out of 4 days or more, I was pain free. Mabelle is awesome! She has good intuition about the human body and its muscle structure. She helped me more than anyone and I wish I didn't have to stop because I came so far. I felt great while I was her student. It is clear Mabelle loves what she does and her students!
With medical clearance and a partnership between your doctor's care and Mabelle, I would recommend Pilates for all in Physical recovery. Keep your skills up Mabelle!

I have done Pilates for one year, one time a week with Mabelle and I work out by myself once a week. I have experienced significant changes in posture, alignment, pain level, energy level, flexibility, strength and sleep. Especially there is strength and new flexibility. Unlike Yoga, which I took three times a week for four years, in one year with Mabelle I have made more noticeable progress than four years with Yoga. I recommend it to all of my friends as well as my clients.
