Hi, I’m Mary Beth Blend

I fell in love with Pilates shortly after completing my graduate studies in Physical Therapy. While in PT school, I found out I had scoliosis. I began looking for the best forms of exercise to address the scoliosis imbalances and I found Pilates! It didn’t take long for me to realize that Pilates was a life-changer for me and I wanted to share the benefits of it with others.

I have worked as a physical therapist in outpatient orthopedics with a specialty in treating back pain and spine conditions since 1999. In 2004, received my Rehab Pilates Certificate from Polestar Pilates, International, Inc. and I still enjoy teaching this rehab-oriented style Pilates, which I call “PT Pilates”.

I loved how good my body felt after doing Pilates and I decided to get certified as a Pilates teacher so I could share it with others!

In 2021,

I continued my studies in various Scoliosis treatment methods like the Lyon Method, SEAS Method, and the Scroth Method.

I earned a Level 1 (C1) certification in the well-researched Scroth Method.

In october 2023,

I earned the title “Scolio-Pilates Practitioner” which is my favorite treatment method for Scoliosis, as it combines the structural corrections of Scoliosis with Pilates exercises to make the treatment fun and effective for all types of clients. I look forward to sharing this exciting method with my clients!

I enjoy using my physical therapy (PT) skills combined with my Pilates and Scoliosis training to provide the most thorough and effective treatments for my clients!
