RELAXATION

Mend Clinic provides high quality, evidence based care without jeopardizing patient experience. We provide a feeling of calm, starkly contrasting the sterility of traditional PT clinics. We utilize design to appeal to all senses, including calming colors, natural and warm lighting, soothing music, grounding smells, and soft linens on treatment tables. Mend Clinic believes a relaxed nervous system better facilitates healing.

CONNECTION

Mend Clinic dispels the connotation that Pilates is meant for a particular type of person, welcoming people of all physical abilities, sizes, skin tones, genders, sexual orientations, and ages. We utilize compassion to provide a genuine sense of care during difficult conversations. We demystify taboo subjects such as sex, urination, and bowel movements. Nothing is “too much information.” This connection provides a sense of safety that allows patients to quiet their nervous systems, tune into subtle sensations, and make lasting change.

EXPLORATION

Mend Clinic incorporates a sense of play in its approach to rehabilitation. We provide one-on-one, patient centered care where exercises are adapted to the unique needs of every body. No movement strategy is “right” or “wrong.” We live in the grey area, where what feels best in one body might be different in another. Mend Clinic encourages a collaborative approach to exploration, where patient feedback is combined with trained eyes and detailed cuing to create well balanced movement that feels great.

INSPIRATION

Mend Clinic empowers you with the knowledge, skills, and inspiration to feel your best. We prefer active to passive treatment, where patients learn to rely on themselves to feel better. We view patient and provider as equals, utilizing empathy to provide a shared sense of understanding. By relating to patients, patients see that their goals are achievable, and feel inspired to take action to heal and grow.
