“Pilates helps… But My Pain is Still There.”
If Your Pain Isn’t Going Away… It May Not Have Been Understood.
You tried treating it.
But the pattern repeats:
You adjust the movement.
The class continues.
The pain returns in the next session.
Most treatment starts where it hurts.
But pain doesn’t always start where you feel it.
So the wrong thing gets treated…again and again.
And nothing actually changes.
That’s because treating the wrong thing—even perfectly—still doesn’t work.
This Is Where We Start Differently
Our AIM Method is built on 3 observable principles:
- Assessment comes first: the therapist examines the entire body using movement analysis and strength tests to locate the source of knee or back pain
- Integrated Diagnostics follows: those findings determine the exact corrective plan.
- Modalities are then applied in a structured progression to restore function and speed recovery.
At Skillz, We Don’t Start With Treatment.
We start with clarity. A full, detailed evaluation designed to identify:
- what’s actually causing the problem
- what’s driving it
- and what actually needs to change

Most of our patients say the same thing… “No one explained it like this before.”
“Aime diagnosed my glute pain as coming from my lower back… pain… for 2 years has decreased significantly.”
“So glad I found Skillz. Aime diagnosed my glute pain as coming from my lower back, and with her intelligent, considered approach, my pain – which existed for 2 years – has decreased significantly. Aime, and her assistant Richelle, were both caring and helpful throughout my physical therapy journey, and I felt that Aime always listened carefully and adjusted her treatment depending upon my situation. It’s also a clean, welcoming place to have PT work!”

“I’ve tried various PT, chiro, ortho… No one diagnosed my issue correctly… Aime figured out my underlying issue during the initial assessment.”
“Aime, in just two sessions, has given me more pain relief and hope than I have had in years. I’ve tried various PT, chiro, ortho, acup., injections, pills, stretches, and the like over the years. No one diagnosed my issue correctly and kept guessing what might work. Aime figured out my underlying issue during the initial assessment. It seemed so obvious to her that it was like scientific magic to me. The front desk is relatable, sensitive, and kind. I look forward to my upcoming sessions–and actually believe I am capable of healing.”

“When Aime did the evaluation she told me that the pain I have in my knee was not related with osteoarthritis… the next day the pain was gone.”
“I had gone to another PT before I came to Skillz. I had several session in the other place. Instead of getting better I felt misserable.Last weekend was in so much painful. On Monday I came to tell the chiropractor that I didn’t want to continue with them. On Tuesday was my first session with Aime at Skillz. Oh my God, it feel so good everything, she did to my leg and knee. She showed me some exercises to strengthen my knee them gave me a massage to my leg, then she did some others treatments. Oh my God, the next Day. The pain was gone. I cannot believe it. I call them to thank Aime. She is very assertive. When Aime did the evaluation she told me that the pain I have in my knee was noting related with the osteoarthritis. Aime is an Angel that God sent to me. God blessed her and the team. As soon as you cross the entrance door the receptionists make you feel like part of the family. All the staff is very professional and kind. I highly recommend Skillz and Aime.”

What Happens in Your First Visit
Your first visit is designed to identify the true source of your pain—not just treat the symptoms. This includes:
- A full, detailed evaluation
- Identification of the true source
- Clear explanation of what’s actually going on
- A plan based on that—not guesswork
Recurring pain and modifications mean the cause has not been identified
If your reformer class keeps you active and fit but your knee or back still hurts, a diagnostic evaluation can show why and provide a plan to get you back to what you enjoy without modification.
