Lynn Peterson, PT, DPT, NCPT graduated with her first PT degree in 1997 from University of North Florida and with her transitional Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree in 2016 from University of South Florida.
A background in gymnastics and Highland Dancing throughout her youth lead her to instantly embrace the teachings of Joseph Pilates and recognize the therapeutic benefits of the work once she became a PT and began practicing in an outpatient setting.
The blending of PT and Pilates began after completing the rigorous testing upon completion of the Polestar Pilates Education Rehabilitation Pilates training in 1999.

Joseph Pilates (1883-1967) created a philosophy of exercise and lifestyle that he called Contrology, meaning the science of control, but we now refer to it by his last name, Pilates (Puh-La-teez).
Contrology was just too much of a mouthful!
Initially embraced by the dance community as a way to effectively manage and prevent injury, Pilates has made its way into the worlds of rehabilitation and fitness which is to say, the world here at Synergy Studio.
When most people are asked "What is Pilates?" they will say that it strengthens the core but Pilates actually strengthens your entire body.

The Oov creates a 3D environment, allowing the body to move in 3 planes, facilitating motor learning.
Lying on the Oov axially elongates the spine, and the pelvis is up off the ground and free to move in all 3 planes - meaning you also have to control the pelvis in all 3 planes.
The head is lower than the hips, inhibiting the use of your accessory respiratory muscles to breathe, thereby promoting diaphragmatic breathing.
Research shows that breathing from our accessory muscles up-regulates the fight or flight response, but breathing from the diaphragm helps calm the nervous system down.

Our Physical Therapy is delivered in a quiet, private setting where you are the only patient with your Physical Therapist (PT) during your treatment session.
This one to one treatment ethic sets Synergy Studio apart from most outpatient physical therapy settings.
Your therapeutic exercises will be performed on apparati designed by Joseph Pilates using his method of movement to provide an always changing and always challenging continuum of functional improvement.
Your goals are our goals, we want you to get back to doing the things you love feeling stronger and more confident.

Massage therapy focuses on areas in your body where pain and restrictions inhibit the flow of energy, so that healthy tissue states may be restored.
Muscles are soothed, relaxed, and lengthened, reducing spasms and aiding in recovery from fatigue, stiffness, and soreness.
Massage cleanses tissues of stored toxins and increases the release of oxygen and nutrients needed for tissue repair.
By guiding your awareness away from stress toward deep relaxation, massage therapy promotes restful sleep which speeds natural tissue repair.
