History

Our Beginnings...

The seeds of Wellspring were planted in 1996 out of our desire to bring to Pittsburgh what was largely an unknown conditioning technique called the Pilates Method. We knew from our own experience as dancers and teachers of human movement, that the mind could join with the body to accomplish amazing things. In a relatively short time, we watched our clients becoming stronger, more flexible, with greater agility and confidence in their bodies.

Expanding our Vision

As our teaching evolved and we encountered more diverse and challenging clients, we recognized the need to expand our vision for the future. In 1998, we pursued training in the Gyrotonic® Expansion System, a comprehensive exercise method with a well-developed philosophy that complemented Pilates perfectly. Our clients responded enthusiastically and enjoyed having access to the best of both worlds: the core strengthening and centering that comes with doing Pilates and the freedom and flow that comes from a Gyrotonic work-out.

Meanwhile, new clients were coming to us with injuries and physical problems seeking answers that other practitioners or traditional physical therapy failed to provide. We decided that Wellspring would offer physical therapy evaluation and care under a distinctly different paradigm. In contrast to most modern-day physical therapy clinics, Wellspring's patients receive the undivided attention of their therapist who spends the time needed to address the underlying causes related to their diagnosis with the appropriate combination of guided exercise and manual therapies.

Today...

We are still growing Wellspring, adding depth and clarity to our commitment to help others be the best that they can be. We continue to look for ways to improve our studio space and the equipment we use, to enhance our own knowledge about human movement potential and to join with other practitioners who are equally dedicated.

It is our good fortune to be able to practice what is most important to us each and every day at Wellspring. It is a privilege to assist our clients in creative ways to meet their highest potential. We are committed to making Wellspring an environment where the possibilities for physical excellence, health and healing are limitless...a place where anything is possible.
