Pilates PhysioWise - Carlsbad

Experiencia fantástica: Tuula is a one of a kind "therapist", as she knows every muscle in the body from her PT experience and she brings it to her Pilates business. I have scoliosis, a painful double curve and have had every therapy known to man. Not only have they not helped, but some have created more pain by not understanding the specific needs a scoliosis client. Once I met Tuula, I realized that she has a unique understanding of my special needs, and creates a program every visit to treat my particular body limitations and work on strengthening my body as a whole. She is truly a unicorn in the business, and her 1-on-1 attention to the smallest movements sets her apart from the rest.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been living with sciatic pain since March of this year. I've tried several options and remedies to eliminate the daily pain. One day my wife gave me the phone number for Tuula and told me (ordered me) to go and see her for pain relief. I liked the fact very much that she has experience in both pilates and physico-therapy. I started working with Tuula for six sessions and found that I do not have to take pain medication anymore and that my pain became manageable. She explained proper postures and breathing techniques and constantly made sure that my unused muscles start working again in order to get to favorable results. Tuula was always so confident and caring and never lost focus that her goal is to help me to get back to my pain-free life. I am very satisfied with her knowledge and expertise when it comes to human anatomy. Please, go see her, she will help you!!!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I love Pilates Wise, Tuula is wonderful. I have a back injury and have done physical therapy off and on for 30 years and never seem to improve. A friend suggested Pilates. I had no experience with Pilates in a studio setting. I spent 10 visits with Tuula and I was in better condition than I had been in prior to my injury. I've continued with the sessions because of the wonder results. I chose Tuula in the beginning because she was a physical therapist too and with the combo I've had great success. I would recommend this for anyone who is looking to improve their core strength and balance. I look forward to my weekly sessions. If you have never done Pilates or have only done them in a group setting I would encourage you to take some private sessions with Tuula, you will get much more out of it than in a gym.

Experiencia fantástica: Tuula is a physical therapist and a Pilates instructor. She is frankly the best I have ever worked with (note: I have had to go to physical therapy on a regular basis since 1996 so I know an excellent instructor from a just okay one). She guides me through my work, knows exactly what my body needs and I am so grateful. I am stronger, more agile, more flexible because of her abilities. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER WORK and I plan to continue with her weekly for a long time. It has made a huge difference in the quality of my life.

Experiencia fantástica: Tuula has a rare combination of extensive experience & knowledge in PT and Pilates. She is truly a rare find! On top of this her European approach to patient care is very personal and friendly - unlike any I have experienced in 100's of hours of PT before. I have 20+ years experience trying many different modalities in conventional and alternative treatments for recovery and pain from 3 surgeries. Lastly she loves her work and does not charge an arm and a leg like most other treatments I have tried before.

Experiencia fantástica: Tuula is an expert physiotherapist with years of training & education. She helped me reach full recovery from my first hip replacement in 2018 and now my second HR earlier this year. Above and beyond traditional PT, Tuula's methods awaken and fine tune the weakest muscles to achieve harmony for the whole body. I have the utmost respect for Tuula's services...worth every penny.

Experiencia fantástica: Tuula is a true professional and cares about her clients as individuals. I went to see her about my hip and SI-joint pain. She made assessments that she could help me better with my pain. She was correcting me all the time and made sure that I was using the right muscles during our training sessions. After her specific SI-joint training I feel stronger because my muscles support my SI-joint better and my pain has improved tremendously. I am also very happy that I can go for walks and hikes without any pain. I would recommend Tuula since she treats every person as a unique individual and does it with a smile.

Experiencia fantástica: I was so lucky to find Tulla and PhysioWise. I am about to get a total knee replacement and my doctor suggested I get my knee as strong as I could prior to surgery. I can say without a doubt that my knee and whole body are much stronger. I feel confident going into my surgery knowing that I am strong and will recover much faster. Thank you Tulla. I highly recommend Tulla for rehabilitation before or after surgery . She is so knowledgeable about the body and you will learn so much to use going forward.

Experiencia fantástica: Tuula is absolutely amazing. I have had a injury for 5 years and she has helped me as no one else has. Grateful for Tulla and can’t recommend PhysioWise highly enough!

Experiencia fantástica: I had the privilege of working with Tuula while visiting my daughter this September. I have enjoyed Pilates for several years and Tuula takes it to another lever. She is knowledgeable and intuitive. She taught me so much about my body and how it works. I have been able to incorporate her lessons into my practice back home. I can’t wait to get back to Carlsbad and work with her again! Dawn Kyle

Experiencia fantástica: Tuula showed me that Osteoporosis doesn't limit your ability to do Pilates or exercise. Through her knowledge of phyiology and safe movements, she guided me through Pilates with a focus on buliding core strength. Tuula watches every move and works with me to improve balance and posture and at the same time, doesn't let me slack off during the session. I came her for help with a limitation and ended up being a happy client for over 4 years because it was fun. I recommend Pilates PhysioWise for anyone who is looking to come out of a physical setback and wants to emerge strong and confident.

Experiencia fantástica: I am avid road biker who use to suffer from back and shoulder pain. Traditional physical therapy didn't help. I was looking for a specialist who can help me strengthen my core and rehabilitate my shoulder from an old injury. I found Tuula at PhysioWise, Carlsbad. She is a physiotherapist and Pilates instructor originally educated and trained in Finland. Her program to reduce my back pain and improve my shoulder range of motion allows me to move without pain. I can ride longer without my back getting tired. I credit her program to where I can now comfortably ride centuries. I can warmly recommend her to everyone who has back issues or orthopedic injuries.

Experiencia positiva: I recently had a terrific massage from Lily Bren neck at Pilates PhysioWise - Carlsbad. She has a magical touch, and was able to help get rid of my aching neck pain and shoulder soreness after just an hour session. I would definitely recommend her.

Experiencia fantástica: Doing pilates with Tuula has been life-changing for me. I'm in my 60's, struggling with fibromyalgia and years of deconditioning. Working with Tuula has helped reduce my pain and made me much stronger overall.

Experiencia fantástica: I am disabled in my back and left leg. I have gone to 4 physical therapies. Not one Ever even Mentioned the Word Alignment Tulla is truly an artist of Alignment and balance Of Every muscle and All Alignment... She Immediately analyzed my lack of Alignment... Tulla watches every Muscle, and every move that Puts your Alignment off to any degree. I’ve Never had Care that even came Close ; Her Eyes Are Constantly watching every move I make. The slightest degree off balance Is Immediately Corrected. I had a back surgery 10 years ago. That wasn’t Supposed to touch my back all failed and my scoliosis is much worse. Tulla makes sure I’m learning to feel balanced Not only with Tulla, but to Take it with me... She is Amazing. Certainly Not Just Pilates Brenda Kitrosser

Experiencia fantástica: Tuula is absolutely amazing. I have had a injury for 5 years and she has helped me as no one else has. Grateful for Tulla and can’t recommend PhysioWise highly enough!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve had the pleasure of working with Tuula for 9 years. She has helped me with hip and knee pain, including pre and post knee replacement surgery. Her extensive knowledge of physical therapy and Pilates is a unique combination in keeping fit and working through arthritis.

Experiencia fantástica: Tula is wonderful, and her services have improved the strength and balance in my muscles to protect arthritic knees (without any pain after any session). She is detailed in alignment and far more knowledgeable than any other Pilates instructor I have been to (she was a PT in Finland). I am so glad to be getting stronger, without pain!

Experiencia fantástica: I found Tuula while looking for on-going rehab after a back injury. Her professional background and her training in Finland set her apart when it comes to therapists. Her therapy achieved the desired results and I continue with her long after the initial goals were met. Not sure if I can give her ALL of the credit, but my golf handicap has come down 5 strokes since I started with her! lol.
