Jill Vonderhaar Nader is the founder and owner of PrehAB Pilates and Physical Therapy, LLC.
With over 10 years experience as a physical therapist and certified Pilates instructor, Jill Vonderhaar Nader has spent much of her career evaluating and correcting movement dysfunctions. She regularly has been the physical therapist of choice for many local orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, chiropractor and osteopathic physicians to rehabilitate their patients. Many people who have been written off as “unfixable” have been able to live normal healthy lives after undergoing a combination of manual therapy and exercise under her supervision. It was out of this experience that she developed a passion for fitness and improving clients’ lives through Pilates and exercise.
Jill served as the physical therapist for the Performing Arts Medicine Program at Spectrum Rehab where she treated and taught Pilates based exercise to members of the Cincinnati Ballet, Cincinnati Symphony and multiple Broadway performers.
Currently, she provides Pilates based exercise to the Cincinnati Bengals as well as professional golfers and other NFL players. She is a consultant for several NFL trainers and physical therapists in helping them incorporate Pilates based exercise into their practice.
“I have developed such a passion for training people using a Pilates based approach because I have seen how effective this program is. It truly changes the way people move and feel, so they can avoid injury and keep doing the activities they love to do for a longer period of time. Joseph Pilates’ mantra was “Movement Heals.” I truly believe this because I have witnessed it. When your body moves fluidly, without pain, you feel better and look better. As your body FEELS better it effects other areas of your life as well – improved relationships, improved work ability and improved mood.
Our society today is living longer and many people are active well into their 70’s and 80’s. Adults today have a growing interest not just in living longer, but living BETTER longer.
Adding Pilates to your program is essential for improving your fitness level. It creates a strong center or “core” that not only makes you stronger but makes you look better. It gets rid of the “pouch” and “saddlebags” that can progress with aging by toning and strengthening the body’s core, which consists of the abdominals, buttocks, hips and shoulder blades.
Vonderhaar Nader’s approach to fitness and Pilates is based on safe movement that challenges your body. Her vast knowledge of proper body alignment and correct movement will ensure a safe and effective workout no matter what your fitness level is.
Jill is accepting appointments for private and group training for adults and teens. Please contact her for more information at JCV3110@aol.com.
