I have been attending one of Lorna’s class for a couple of years. Before her classes I used to fall down quite a few times a year. I do have a form of muscular dystrophy; but she has helped me gain strength and balance and I haven’t fallen down one time since I’ve started. I might add that even though I have an incurable disease and am 65 years old doesn’t mean you have to give up. I’m not in a wheelchair yet but have helped my muscle strength, core and balance. I will always be grateful for Lorna and her dedication!![]()

I've had PT numerous times in the past & have never gotten as far as I have with Lorna. I have scoliosis and one leg is shorter than the other, verified by x-ray. I have been lifting weights & doing yoga, and the occasional mat pilates for a couple years now but I still had pain. That's when I went to get that x-ray. After another PT with no results I reached out to Pilates & Rehab. Their website had previously included information about support for people with scoliosis & it made sense to me for this to be the next route to try. Ashley reviewed my issues & suggested an appropriate practitioner for 1:1 work. I have been working with Lorna since. I've been attending weekly for about 7 weeks now and recently had the opportunity to test it out. I spent hours (12+) walking around the state fair. Normally after a day like that I would be in so much pain. My back would ache for days. I wasn't sore much at all. Not while walking around or standing around as the day went on & none at all the next day. After 4 kids in just 3 pregnancies 20 years ago, I hadn't felt my deep core engage in a long time. I can feel it again now. Lorna has been teaching me how to move for my body so that I work with it & not against it. It is hard work that carries over to everything I do. I did not think I would accomplish much just 30 minutes a week, but a little goes a long way.![]()

I've been working with Lorna due to sciatica issues on my leg. I am so impressed by her knowledge and understanding of how the body works and how each position affects a different part of the body. The sauna has been a great way to relax before our sessions. The pilates based therapeutic intervention is making a tremendous difference on my pain. Today I left feeling like a new woman by the time the session was done! It was the first time all day that I had no pain on my leg.![]()

Great coach who really understands horse riding. I came to fix my back pain after riding and while that's still a work in progress, I've learned so much about my body in the process. Now I can finally feel my core engage and know exactly where my back is weak. My husband's already signed up after seeing the difference in my riding posture. Definitely recommend if you want to understand your body better.![]()

My son began seeing Dr Lorna as an “off ice” training option for Hockey and I have seen a huge improvement in his game after only a few sessions. He was already a confident player, but the Pilates training has greatly increased his body awareness and confidence.![]()

I attended the Pop Up Full Body workout today. It was an amazing experience. The space is super inviting; and the instructor was skilled, welcoming and encouraging. A beautiful soul. She demonstrates the exercises and offers modifications to fit your skill level. I definitely recommend that you give them a try. You won’t be disappointed.![]()

I have been battling a hip injury and was at a point where I could not sit without being in extreme discomfort. I had tried traditional physical therapy for years which only focused on strengthening select body parts and not treating the root cause of my issue which was muscular imbalance and misalignment. I had heard about the health benefits of Pilates and faced with the increasing likelihood of hip arthroscopy, I decided to give it a try as a last ditch effort to avoid surgery. I have been working with Lorna at Pneuma for about six weeks and it has been a transformative experience. She is incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, and each session is customized to my body to suit my recovery needs. Lorna uses a holistic approach to fitness and well-being, using specialized equipment and props in order to mobilize joints and strengthen/lengthen muscles through well-controlled, low-impact movements. Since we have started working together my pain has decreased tremendously, I have better mobility & flexibility, I stand taller and have better posture, can sit for longer periods without discomfort, and am significantly stronger with better cardio fitness. Overall, my body feels better than it has in years. What really sets Pneuma apart is that it is not just a place for exercise, but a sanctuary for rehabilitation and relaxation. Pneuma provides a calming atmosphere, the ambiance is serene which lowers stress levels and provides a rejuvenating experience. I often use the Infrared Sauna after my session which is not only relaxing but also improves my recovery. I would highly recommend Pneuma to anyone interested improving their health and fitness and also those interested in decreasing pain associated with occupational or office related musculoskeletal discomfort. The results have been amazing and I am very excited to continue my journey to improve my fitness and overall physical well-being!![]()

I had been hurt in personal training previously and was diagnosed with cervicogenic headaches. I am also suffering from intermittent vertigo. My phone consultation with Lorna helped bring clarity to how physical therapy, chiropractic care, and personal training can work together. Her focus on collaboration and education will keep me safe as I continue to work towards overall health and wellness.![]()

I came to Ms.Lorna for my first time today and didn’t know what to expect, but I can say the service she provided was amazing. Especially for me being an athlete and not always getting the exact stretches I need. She made sure to open up my hips,shoulders and back which are key parts to an athlete movement and productivity on the field. I will most definitely be making me more appointments to keep benefiting from the full body recovery and stretches. It felt amazing. Thank you![]()

I have been working with Lorna for a bout 2 weeks and all of my sessions make me feel ten times better as an athlete. I came in and told her what I needed to work on and pains that I were having as an athlete and her work has made practices and intense football training easier. I would highly recommend her services to any athlete even if you are not in pain because this is injury prevention!!
