Our Method

We believe in an integrative approach to wellness. Since 2005, Posture Studio has been a premier Pilates studio located in the heart of downtown Charlottesville, offering a functional-based training approach to movement.

In 2024, we added physical therapy to our services which perfectly compliments the mission of the studio.

We practice with a holistic focus which means looking at your body as a whole to address the symptoms as well as the cause of pain or misuse. Our goal is to get you back to pain-free functional movement - which is movement that is used in daily activities. From there, we work to prevent future injuries and to improve movement patterns through Pilates-based exercises.

Our private Pilates sessions and classes range from beginner to advanced.

Our Mission

At the heart of the work at Posture Studio is our belief in educating you, the client. We teach the whys and hows of movement patterns, and look at applications to life. Whether it be through physical therapy, Pilates private sessions or exercise classes, we make movement directly applicable to real-life situations. Once the body begins to recognize these patterns, real change begins.

The methods utilized at Posture Studio Pilates & Physical Therapy empower students to cultivate a deep inner awareness of their habits, encouraging healthy postures, sustainable strength, and whole-body wellness.

Our studio supports Every Body — providing strength, health and healing for every age, body shape and condition. We offer support for a wide range of conditions, including pre- and post-injury care, scoliosis, athletic conditioning, pre- and post-natal and so much more.

I was headed for back surgery and Posture Studio changed everything. As an ex-pro athlete, my injuries aren’t going to disappear, but the pain is gone and I can do things I never thought I’d do again. Posture Studio keeps my body pain-free so I can enjoy my life.
