Reichert Pilates LLC

Laura is a traditionally trained orthopedic/manual therapist, a graduate of the University of Tennessee Medical School, and a former assistant professor at the University of Central Arkansas. In total, she has practiced for over 25 years in clinical settings, most recently as Director of a Summerville ATI clinic. Nearly 10 years ago Laura was introduced to Pilates’ based strength training to recover from running injuries. She has applied many of these learned techniques on herself and in clinical setting with many of her patients. Pilates provides results for complete, systematic, and neurological strengthening that physical therapy alone couldn’t replicate. She became certified to teach Mat Pilates 5 years ago in 2013. Laura enjoys running, tennis, and traditional weight lifting.She has discovered the basis to longevity in her training is to have core stability for outward mobility. Her goal in physical therapy and with Pilates is to improve patient fitness and improve quality of life.
