All Physical Therapists at Alpine Attain Pilates Certification

History will remember this momentous feat. Over the course of three intense days, Alpine’s PTs are immersing themselves in the rigors of attaining Level 1 Pilates Reformer certification through Balanced Body Pilates.

In a room where all eight of our physical therapists seek to take our treatment skills to a higher level, the energy is palpable.

Professional instructor Roger Gonzales Hibner a formerly renowned dancer who is now a nationally recognized Pilates Master Instructor fluidly vocalizes the next exercise sequence. He does so with a style and grace that matches the moves his trained and toned body has repeated for years while practicing and teaching Pilates.

It won’t be long before our three-day training session ends and testing begins. Our aim? To bring a whole new level of patient care to Missoula, Montana, through a team of physical therapists who are professionally trained and certified in the Pilates Method. That’s Alpine PT.

Yes. It is well known that Alpine has always been a leader in Pilates-based rehabilitation. However, attaining certification among all our professional staff stamps excellence on our reputation. Yet it doesn’t stop there. Both our clinic managers, Sam Schoeneman and Angela Listug-Vap, are pursuing the requirements to become fully trained Pilates faculty instructors.

Check out a few pictures of our therapists during our training class.
