Sheena Jongeneel interview: previews Uprise Pilates & Wellness Center, success of acupuncture and pilates
Uprise Pilates & Wellness Center is turning heads in California and co-founder and president, Sheena Jongeneel talked with Dispatch Radio about their unique combination of Pilates and Acupuncture.
Sheena begins by discussing her serious knee injury “in college…I was a dance major” transitioning into her own account of surgery and then how Pilates became an amazing form of rehabilitation, “back in ’93….before anybody heard of it.”
“It was phenomenal for rehab.”
Sheena details the benefits of Pilates, “elonging the spine and getting the body back to realignment” – benefits which changed her life.
“Anyone can do pilates,” she says. “A physical therapist will focus just on the injured site, the site that had surgery or the site that needs the rehab” – just one part of the body, while Pilates “You are working the whole body while as your strengthening, working with that injured area. You are not neglecting the rest of the body.”
“The body works as a whole.”
She had begun studying the art of acupuncture during this time and soon coupled the Pilates and Acupuncture to discover shocking success. Sheena begins by busting the myths and states the amazing positives.
“Acupuncture brings the body back to homeostasis,” she explains. “Each point has a therapeutic effect: there’s a point for pain in the entire body…there’s a point that works with the muscles and tendons…”
Now Sheena offers both Pilates and Acupuncture to her clients at Uprise for better recuperation and strengthening for a wide variety of physical problems.
