Rehabilitating a Traumatic Brain Injury Through Mind-Body Movement


Congratulations to Palm Springs Member, Angela C., for completing over 100 classes!

On May 30th, 2023, I was in a car accident and admitted to the ICU at Desert Regional Medical Center.

I suffered a grade 4 brain bleed that resulted in a craniotomy. They removed a quarter of my skull to reduce the swelling. I was told it could be years until I could walk and talk. I began rehabilitating and miraculously recovered, learning how to live a normal life.

I was bedridden for months and the weight built up because I was not able to do any physical activity while I recovered. When the cranioplasty skull replacement was done, I was alerted of the immense pain in my right foot due to a trio of fractures and broken bones. I then had to wear a boot for several months.

I received all aspects of physical therapy and mental therapy.

I was released from physical therapy in January 2024 and my mental/speech therapy ended in March 2024. I was released as part of the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) 7% miracle patients! As soon as I was released, I joined Club Pilates in February 2024. I am blessed to have been introduced to this Club Pilates Palm Springs by mum-in-law, Liz C.

I used to be a CrossFit, Orange Theory, and Fit in 42 rock star, but now after my accident, I am so grateful for Club Pilates and the vibe of the Pilates exercises.

The instructors, front desk reps & managers welcome ME with open arms & minds and are ultimately the best in their caring customer satisfaction! My physical and mental health has overcome & been redeemed, which has fortified my entire health sooo much better than any other exercise endeavor I have had! 

I have dedicated my recovery life to Club Pilates 100% and would never change it for anything.

I am so thankful from the bottom of my heart for this "centered & balanced" health journey and I commit to being a Club Pilates family member for the rest of my life. I love and trust the embodiment and culture of Club Pilates, and I CANNOT WAIT to hit my 250 and then 500 class goal! I am thankful and grateful for Club Pilates which assists my well being in my physical & mental health RECOVERY!
