"Hello, Simona! My husband and my doctor are getting me out of here today! Once they move you out of the ICU at this hospital, the care goes way downhill! I 've seen PT and OT already & have been cleared. Pilates is truly amazing--not just in getting me moving again but I think I would have been much worse off in the actual accident. I'll have to wear a hard collar for 6-8 weeks and then a soft one for months after that, but it could be worse! Thank you so much for all your help and good wishes!" D.N.

"After being diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, I have turned to Simona Cipriani to combat muscle rigidity so characteristic of the disease. Her exercise program is a bright point in my day." -DS

"When I first walked into The Art of Control, I was suffering from neck, shoulder, leg and foot problems from multiple accidents as well as high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Simona and her teachers have been true healers; they continue to teach me sound principles in developing movement patterns that lengthen and strengthen my body and keep me from re-injuring my areas of concern. The Pilates Method is challenging and requires lots of focus, but I have always been guided at The Art of Control with a firm yet gentle hand. They help me live pain free and also keep me fit and healthy! My medical problems have subsided, and whenever I leave the studio I feel two inches taller. I enjoy it so much I now send my whole family for lessons at The Art of Control." -JS

VB came to Simona in April 2009 after suffering weeks of hip pain from a superior labral tear. She also had back pain from a L3-L4 disc protrusion impressing the L4 nerve root, and a small central disc protrusion at L4-L5. Although VB’s physicians were recommending hip surgery, she turned to Pilates to strengthen her hips and back. During weekly Pilates sessions, her pain subsided and she had a follow-up x-ray a year later. Her results showed only a small disc protrusion at L3-L4, and no protrusion at L4-L5. VB is continuing to improve every week by strengthening her lumbar spine and hip region and maintaining her flexibility without the need for surgery. She is able to leave a healthy lifestyle and be an active mother for her two boys. VB’s story is a true testament to the enormous benefits of Pilates training.
