Mitreawellness

I am 71 years old, and afflicted with Parkinson’s (P.D.), diagnosed 5 years ago.

My sister recommended I seek help from Rucsandra Mitrea, of Mitrea Pilates Centre.  I started by attending private lessons, and then group classes according to a program designed for me, exclusively.These classes were comprised of groups of 5 people maximum with strict “hands on” supervision.  To my amazement, I found that my motion activities, which had been curtailed by P.D., returned to a more normal state, like a kind of body awakening!  I have taken to sharing these benefits received with Parkinson patients, and others I know as well, by recommending Mitrea Pilates Centre, and have found without exception, all have received positive improvement in strength, mobility, and balance.

My wife and four children seek out Rucsandra on a regular basis, if they have back pain, or other body pain. Inevitably, Rucsandra fixes their problem, relieves them of their pain in a short period of time, and teaches them how to change their daily activities, to avoid a recurrence of the same ailment, and encourages them to attend her classes and lectures.

Mitrea Pilates Centre is an organization comprised of Rucsandra Mitrea, president, and includes instructors Carolyn, Sarah, and Aliesha.  How can I describe them?  Rucsandra is the reigning  “goddess”, and the instructors are the “angels”.  Not only do they all have the knowledge and experience to diagnose our problem, and tell us what to do to improve our body responses to protect us in the future, but also they will help us to fix ourselves.

And they all help guide us through the complex science of body movement and movement methods with gentleness and care!
