Edye Fisher-Discount has created The Pilates Therapist studio to address the personalized wellness and rehabilitation needs of the individual. A certified Pilates professional since 1997, Fisher-Discount now offers her clients and special groups customized Pilates training in her Bucks County studio as well as on site programs for groups depending on their specific requirements.
Over the last several years, I have been working with seniors in Trenton, NJ, and with people with Multiple Sclerosis in the Bucks County area. Participants in the sessions are astounded at the mobility they have been able to achieve, said Fisher-Discount.
I truly believe with the right instruction, adaptation, and focus each individual has the capacity to improve their flexibility and strength, added Fisher-Discount. Everyone can benefit from a stronger back. Its easy to achieve with guidance, and if the individual is committed and diligent about building his or her core, she continued.
The Pilates method of exercise was developed and named after Joseph Pilates, who initially created a series of exercises to rehabilitate veterans returning from World War I. Central to the Pilates method is the development and strengthening of the core, or powerhouse. This group of muscles is comprised of the abdominals, obliques, lower back and glutes, and working together, what gives the body its core strength and proper alignment.

She discovered that the answer and ideal treatment for developing a strong, pain-free back was through Pilates.
