I'm a 58 year old, retired firefighter, rancher, and nurse. Have been involved in many accidents, resulting in injuries, bulging disks, and have bone spurs, and degenerative arthritis in my spine. I was crippled to the point where chiropractic and physical therapy care were ineffective, and was on anti-inflammatory meds, ice and heat daily, and I had definite physical limitations.  My chiropractor strongly advised that I strengthen my core and recommended Simply Pilates here in Chico. It took a couple of months, where I could barely get off the reformer tables. However, 5 months later, I am finally pain-free, can move freely, am not afraid to work, and risk injury. I had a lifetime of working out in gyms, doing cross fit, and can attest, there is no better way to strengthen one's self in a healthy way than through Pilates. Dana and Beth are second to none, and their work outs mirror and exceed a hundred fold what I was doing in physical therapy.  I am as confident that the sun will rise every day that anyone of any age will highly benefit from Pilates at Simply Pilates.
