A Personal Message From Movement Specialist, Yvonne Castillo…

Yvonne A. Castillo
Movement Specialist
A special message from Founder, Dr. Yvonne Castillo.

Are you frustrated by Back pain, stiffness, weakness, feeling tight, fatigue, like your posture is declining, weight gain or just not feeling "like yourself"? Are you disappointed because the back pain, stiffness, worry of getting hurt with one bad move is holding you back from doing what you love and  the lifestyle you desire? Or maybe you are just a little nervous about what you should or shouldn't be doing, if it is safe to exercise? 

You don’t have to sacrifice the activities you love or goals you have set over a back situation that can be fixed. That’s why we made this free guide just for you. 

You see, everyone with Back Pain and stiffness in Santa Barbara asks us the same questions…
​
  • Why does my Back Pain & Stiffness hurt so much? (I don't even know what I did...)
  • Why isn't this Back Pain & Stiffness going away yet?
  • Why is it so painful to get out of bed or the car, sit or lean over?
  • Why does my back feel "weary" and so tired at the end of the day or with sitting?
  • Will I need surgery? Will I end up like my parents who had similar Back problems? 
  • Am I going to have to live with Back Pain & Stiffness forever? Is this just my life now?

We have good news: you don’t have to “live with it”. There is still more that can be done for your Back Pain and we’re here to show you the way.  Most people get stuck trying to make a decision about what to do next. They go days, weeks, months (even years!) without taking action. The one thing we can guarantee is that by doing nothing, your current limitations and fears won’t go away or get better. 

So, the next important thing is to take action!

Here is to your health and fitness transformation,

Yvonne Castillo

What Other People Just Like You Are Saying About Perseverance Movement Specialists & Pilates... 
​(and how happy they are now...)

Chris Gocong, 34, NFL Veteran 2006-2013, Investor
​Santa Barbara, CA

As a retired NFL player, I know how a knowledgeable trainer can be a great asset to a team.
​
My experience with Yvonne Castillo has shown that she has more than enough knowledge and skill to be among the elite in her field.

In 2012 I suffered a complete (R) Achilles tendon rupture along with a compound malleolus fracture while playing as the linebacker Cleveland  Browns. For  physical therapy at home, in Santa Barbara, I was referred to Yvonne by the Cleveland Browns Head Athletic Trainer, Chris Peduzzi.
Throughout my recovery Yvonne and the Browns were in contact regarding my status and program via thorough reports by Yvonne.

As a knowledgeable patient, I was very impressed by her knowledge of anatomy and manual manipulations to address or prevent an injury. At times even the most focused patient can tire of Pilates torture devices and balance balls; Yvonne would refocus me, see the workout finished with good  form, and make it a fun atmosphere to work in.

Within months I was back to sprinting, cutting, and jumping. Yvonne would record each drill so I could watch myself and acknowledge improvement (which was very helpful for mental recovery from my catastrophic injury).

When I left my PT program with Yvonne I knew my injury was an afterthought and I could again perform at an elite level.

Bruce P., 66
​Torquay, Austrailia

​I had recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and had attempted many different therapists with limited results.  I was introduced to Yvonne when I walked into the Pilates Studio that she was working in 2008 having heard of the potential benefits of that Pilates could provide for me with my Parkinson’s.  

When I first started I was pleasantly surprised by had only been to a few sessions with Yvonne and I was feeling much freer in my body with increased mobility.  Yvonne was excellent as an instructor and I both enjoyed and looked forward to each session.  I reached a point where I was having three private sessions a week and it had a major positive impact on my movement, dexterity, general overall wellness and fitness.  Yvonne was always very encouraging, professional and took a personal interest in how Pilates could make a difference with Parkinson’s.

We are currently living in Torquay, Australia and we miss Yvonne.  We haven’t found anyone to compare to her excellent abilities.  Health wise my Parkinson’s continues to progress, but I feel the foundation I received through my work with Yvonne has been invaluable and helped me maintain an awareness in my overall health.

I am currently searching for another Pilates instructor here, as we have just moved here only in the last few months.  I am currently a candidate for deep brain stimulation to slow the progression of my illness.  

 Sue D., Pilates Studio Owner &
Certified Pilates Instructor, 
​Santa Ynez, CA

​I am the owner and certified Pilates teacher of Premier Pilates of Santa Ynez. I met Yvonne in need of physical therapy in 2013. I was a 74 year old female that had suffered a trauma injury to my left leg. I had experienced a five hour surgery with 2 plates and 19 screws in my leg to repair my tibia and fibula. I was on crutches and in a leg brace, with ankle and leg swelling. Yvonne was extremely experienced, knowledgeable and effective in explaining and beginning my rehabilitation. She was positive, encouraging, and committed to my recovery and return to my career. She researched and sent me to alternative programs to make my outcome realistic. Yvonne sent regular reports and calls to my surgeon and even observed my 2nd surgery in 2014. Yvonne was committed and instrumental to my recovery!

Yvonne is a confident decision maker. She is the person you want on your team to help you recover. The qualities that make her a professional also include her sincerity - always giving of her extra time to help her patients and work staff.

Yvonne is the exact person I would hire to teach at my studio. She is capable and talented, with a personality to be an asset to any work environment she might choose.
​
Yvonne always makes time for her family, constituents and friends, while having a work ethic to be admired. She has many qualities that make her a well-rounded, special person. She is an athlete, running marathons and relay races, with her friends. Yvonne loves cooking, especially with her family, loves her dog, the beach, her garden and home. She has the values and potential for professional growth and to be of service to her community. Yvonne is to be admired and encouraged to continually pursue any new and challenging advancements in her professional career.

Firstly, I must say that Yvonne is the best Pilates instructor Bruce and I have ever experienced. We have lived in Sausalito, California, London, England and now Melbourne, Australia and have yet to find anyone who has her level of professional expertise, character and passion for healthcare. She is an exceptional young woman, I wish we could clone her and have her with us wherever we travel.
​
​I first met Yvonne when I walked into the Pilates studio where she was working in 2008.  The studio was just down the street from our house and we just happened to walk by when they were having an open house
I tried one of the other instructors but saw Yvonne and knew she was the person I wanted to work with on a regular basis. She shared with us that she was in a doctoral program and was keenly interested in Pilates as it was related to my husband's condition of Parkinson's. (which at the time we had just found out about, even though he is only fifty-five years old.) With every session, for both of us, she was always punctual, deeply present and always trying to find ways to help both of us.

My presenting issues were resulting from balance problems I had from a hip replacement I had in 2002.  I also wanted to work on overall well-being and feeling better in my body.  I had been a marathon runner in my 20’s and a semi-professional dancer, so I had a variety of problems.  Not to mention I just wanted to look and feel better.

I would work with Yvonne five days a week at 6:00 am. (To me it was a combination of exercise and meditation).  After I learned how to use the machines we would often work in silence with her giving me gentle corrections and instructions.  It was such an amazing way to start the day and her positive presence had a great impact on me.  I feel Yvonne is an exceptional young woman in every way, devoted to her clients and to giving them the best treatment possible.  To me it seems that for her it isn’t just a career but a passion for her work.

I haven’t found an instructor like Yvonne since!  Currently we are living in Torquay,Victoria AUSTRALIA.  I am doing Pilates, Aqua Aerobics, hiking and some yoga/stretching.   I wish I could have a portable Yvonne in my pocket, but I will never forget the invaluable instructions and things that she taught me.
​
For Bruce, she always went "beyond" what was needed for him, based on her research and her deep compassion for his condition, so that he could live the best "quality of life" possible.

I can not speak highly enough of Yvonne, her compassion, devotion, sense of humor and genuine caring went beyond any individual we have worked with since. We both believe that anyone who has the opportunity to work with Yvonne is blessed. I say this not out of any sense of hyperbole, only direct experience. I feel her character is flawless, she gives from a place of the heart and mind, rare in young women today.
