Allie has been a game changer in my daughter's preparation and recovery of her Thoracic surgery…read morewhich happened in July 2018. Our daughter had a condition called Pectus Escavatum were the front of her chest started to concave inward over time, shifting her heart abnormally to the left and compressing the lungs backwards compromising the ability to take a deep breath, making her heart work extra hard to meet the demands of a Ballet Dancer. It was very important for us as parents that we find the right person who understood the Kinesiology of a dancers body and their needs and it was imperative that not only she maintain a strong body for surgery but to have someone who would be there afterwards to help her regain the flexibility and strength, Allie was the exact person she needed. It was very important to our daughter and us that regain the skills that she had trained and developed for so many years in order to return to the world of dance. When we first reached out to Allie a month before surgery she was flexible with our schedule and willing to accommodate our unique situation, she even did her own homework and became well versed in our daughter's condition, its anatomy prior to surgery. She did an evaluation on our daughter the first day to see what her current strengths and weakness were and set up a plan with goals to meet before her surgery, this helped our daughter immensely. We resumed with Allie 6 wks post surgery once she had gotten a medical clearance from her thoracic surgeon for Physical Therapy. Post 6 wks of surgery my daughter saw Allie 3 times a week, started with 30 minutes increments of mild gentle fluid movements that over time would only improve the flexibility. The movement of her chest/torso were now restricted by this Titanium steel bar that was surgically placed behind her Thoracic ribs inside and in front of her heart. Allie continued to help our daughter find a way to maintain and develop her new founding core strength to improve mobility and reduce pain. She also set up a new plan of action as now that the correction of the front of her chest had been taken care of it now had caused the major shift and curve in the spine (history of a VERY mild case of scoliosis prior to surgery) Her Orthopaedic Doctor and Thoracic surgeon suggested physical therapy would be the next step for our daughter and suggested she was cleared to so. We told him we had a very good personal trainer who worked with a PT and was better suited and familiar in the rehabilitation of dancers with combined resistance training, core strengthening and specific body motions with Gyrotonics. 6 months forward now my daughter goes twice a weekly (1 hr each). Allie targets her recovery by having her do different exercises to improve the straightening of her back, working to correct the alignment of her body in these last six months. Our daughter has regained flexibility, strength and agility and has resumed Ballet again. Our daughter has increased her range of motion, she is more aware of what her body is capable of doing and has more endurance thanks to this particular training. Allie is a very positive person with great patience, she genuinely knows how to connect with these dancers that need encouragement when injured or recovering or just looking to improve and become better dancers. Every week there is something new that Allie corrects or improve in our daughter's technique that she then applies to her ballet class the following and others notice. Our daughter will continue to work with her on maintaining the newly found core strength that even her Ballet teachers have noticed and said " She came back even stronger than before " or " even her turns out's are better and her ability to balance is better" " It doesn't even look like she had surgery " per her Ballet Mistress Besides Allie helping her get back into the world of dance, we recently saw her Orthopaedic Doctor for the 6-month post-x-ray to her spine and he was very pleased and a bit surprised that the curve in her spine has improved so quickly and he said " It's almost straight ... it's just 6 months, continue what you are doing " In retrospect, we only wished we had known and started with Allie years ago. This could have helped our daughter become a much stronger dancer sooner by having that one person who teaches you how your muscles and body work together, what doesn't work or correct that bad habit you've been doing all along, to what does and makes you look like a solid dancer. We highly recommend Allie and we look forward to seeing our daughter continue on this journey with Allie help.

Ana-Lynn was so great to work with! She's easy to talk to, caring, helpful, quick and gentle to correct my form, and informative about positions and breathing. After taking a private lesson, I moved on to group sessions. Her sessions are always a great work out and she is continuously mixing things up so we don't get bored. I also enjoy her lively energy and choice of music. I like the fact that AK Pilates offers Barre and Pound (which is something not very many studios offer). If I still lived in South OC, this would be my second home!! Sadly, I moved over an hour away and try to take classes when I'm in the area. Def. a place worth checking out!
