OHM Movement: Be In Your Body With Freedom & Joy!
The Optimal Healing Modalities for Movement offered at OHM for Wellness are Pilates and the MELT Method. Pilates and the MELT Method are each impressive and influential in their own right, but together they are a power couple that each brings out the best attributes in the other to create a physical fitness system that is a true force to be reckoned with.
Private Pilates
Instruction customized to honor your specific needs and concerns will help you improve your technique and progress efficiently toward your goals using Pilates Apparatus (Reformer, Cadillac, and Barrels) in addition to incorporating Pilates mat work. Improve flexibility, core strength, balance, breathing, posture and alignment while promoting body awareness and whole body conditioning.
In the words of Sue Hitzman, creator of the MELT Method:
“MELT is a very simple technique that people can learn to do and apply it to anything. It doesn’t matter if you are active or sedentary, young or old. The thing I really like about the method is that it meets everybody wherever they are at. If you are really in a lot of pain there are techniques that you can do that will give you immediate changes and there’s more complex techniques for people looking to improve their tennis or golf swing or run faster. It really spans the gamut of improving performance and decreasing the general aches and pains that daily living gets us. MELT is for everybody. It empowers anybody at any age.”

“These are the missing links of most athletic performance programs because WE ASSUME THAT IF WE ARE ATHLETIC WE ARE STABLE when actually 80% of athletes will become injured every single year mostly due to repetition—not an accident, getting hit, or falling—it’s just strained tissue from cellular dehydration.”

These simple moves prevent compression and compensation that damages joints and inhibits your body’s ability to function optimally.
