Restore to Function Pilates with Misty 

Misty practiced physical therapy 2005-2022, most of which has been at Sebastopol Physical Therapy and Pilates Studio using Pilates as her tool to return clients back to function and their former lifestyle. She has chosen to focus on the Pilates aspect of her services in order to offer strengthening and wellness through independent instruction at the Sebastopol Wellness Clinic. As a child, Misty competed at a national level in swimming for 13 years and played water polo for 6 years. In 1995, Misty underwent surgical spinal fusion, secondary to her scoliosis. Her scoliosis is believed to be the result of her hypermobility disorder, Ehler’s-Danlos Syndrome. This has presented some physical challenges that she has had to overcome. In doing so, she has learned how to improve her own strength and wellness which she uses to assist her clients today. Pilates has played a large role in her returning to function. Her physical therapy background has given her many years of practice studying and training clients in proper body movement and function. She is also trained in manual techniques such as Jones Strain Counterstrain, Maitlin, Mulligan and several more. Misty has lived in Sebastopol since 1999 with her husband and enjoys outdoor activities such as running, bicycling, camping, swimming, 4 wheeling, endurance races and spending time with her two children.
