Designer Fitness And Pilates

Bringing the body into essential alignment is the ongoing objective of Darla O’Brien’s “Motion Empowered” System (ME System℠). The motto of the ME System is “Perfect Balance through Exercise”. Working from the inside out, focusing on specific and consistent spinal integration, clients who use the ME System dramatically improve their core stability and range of motion.

Emphasizing correct form means that clients “get better results… faster. A private session environment allows one to do exactly that,” says Tim McCarver. By teaching effective breathing techniques, Darla’s ME System helps clients strengthen and oxygenate the core muscles, resulting in more efficient (and graceful) body movements. A stronger spine means a balanced body. Today, the ME System is recognized as a highly effective and time-tested path to wellness.

The ME System is a personal and dynamic approach. It is a focused plan that emphasizes muscle groups with breathing and targeted movements. This in turn engages and controls the core muscles, bringing overall strength, but with greater control and without any wasted movement. Spinal alignment, balance and joint articulation all improve, yielding better functionality (in digestion, elimination, assimilation, respiration and joint function).
