About Aerial Bodies
We are a small, private fitness studio conveniently located in West Palm Beach, 5 minutes from City Place. We specialize in restorative and corrective exercise for all ages, all physical conditions and disabilities.
Age, weight gain, illness, accidents, surgery and childbirth cause our body to lose strength, balance and flexibility. We then lose our confidence in how we move, look and feel, even in everyday activities.
At AerialBodies we help you regain the level of fitness you need by using the proven techniques of Pilates, yoga, medical massage and other specialized methods.
Our therapy tools include the Pilates Cadillac, chairs, reformers, spinal corrector, Red Cord suspension and anti-gravity yoga, Swissballs, weights, foam rollers, DC current electrical stimulation, Chinese cupping, kinesiology taping, and other modalities.
For those whose needs are sports specific training or body enhancement or shaping, we can take you there!
Come and enjoy our approach to fitness and health in a calm environment where the focus is on YOU!

Pilates & Yoga
Pilates consists of a slow, sustained series of exercises done 5-10 times on a comfortable platform raised 16” off the floor. There are over 500 Pilates exercises.
For men and women equally, Pilates increases muscle strength with emphasis on the most important “core” muscles (abdomen, lower back, hips, buttocks) and this relieves lower back pain, improves stability and balance.
Pilates is also used to increase weight loss and improve body toning so your body’s shape improves, clothes fit better and energy increases. Recommended by doctors for relief of lower back pain and other stresses and strains that cause pain.
An effective cross-training workout and a plateau-busting change to your regular weightlifting and cardio fitness routine. For advanced levels and athletes – taught by a world-ranked athlete.
Yoga is a no-impact method of exercise particularly helpful to relieve stress and chronic pain in particularly many forms of back pain and sciatica. Yoga lowers blood pressure, increases flexibility, muscle strength,, improves breathing, increases energy and helps balance your metabolism. In addition, it is helpful to lose weight, improve cardio and circulatory health, and improve athletic performance. Yoga is for everyone, any age, any shape.
This newer form of yoga uses assistive slings that allow you to increase your body flexibility while maintaining your balance. Better and less risky than an inversion table, you control your movements that allow you to release tension in your bones and muscles. Outstanding for spinal and shoulder pain and flexibility. Easily done by novices or advanced athletes and worthwhile for all.
Medical Massage
Works on trigger points, fascia system of the body, tendons attachments and ligaments, to help give muscles the tension/length that is needed to heal injuries. Excellent for scar tissue build up and bunched up muscles due to stress, workouts and bad ergonomic posture at work. Focuses on areas of tight muscle fibers that can form in muscles after injuries or overuse – very helpful for relieving pain
Slower, more-forceful strokes to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. You will feel this massage on the table, but experience relief from your symptoms for many days. Helpful for athletes in combination with Sport Massage.
AerialBodies also offers home and chair massage. Contact Lydie, at 561-856-0131 to schedule an appointment and learn more. Great for duos massage and avoiding traffic!
Graston Technique® (GT) is a unique, evidence-based form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively and efficiently address soft tissue lesions and fascial restrictions, scar tissue/fibrosis resulting in improved patient outcomes.
GT uses specially designed stainless steel instruments with unique treatment edges and angles to deliver an effective means of manual therapy and, when combined with appropriate therapeutic exercise, leads to the restoration of pain-free movement and function.
Why scar tissue matters? When viewed under a microscope, normal tissue can be organized in a couple of different fashions: dense, regular elongated fibers running in the same direction, such as tendons and ligaments; or dense and loose, irregular with fibers running in multiple directions. In either instance, when tissue is damaged, it will often heal in a fibrotic, haphazard manner and may appear radio-dense under diagnostic ultrasound. The tissue may show thickening, irregular organization or less precise margins as compared to non-injured tissues, which results in a restricted range of motion and, very often, pain and functional limitations.
GT is not designed to be painful or cause excessive bruising.Occasionally, as with any form of manual therapy and depending on the patient’s condition, minor discomfort during the procedure and some bruising afterward may be experienced.
Historically, the Graston Technique® has had positive outcomes in 75-90 percent of all conditions treated. It is equally effective in restoring function to acute and chronic injuries, pre- and post-surgical patients and maintaining optimal range of motion.
The Aaron Mattes method of stretching is wonderful to counteract the effects of muscle shortening due to posture or injury. Although this is not a passive modality, it will help reprogram the nervous system and muscle length through movement, excellent for athletes and Parkinson patients.
A light and soothing medical massage used to relieve lymphedema following radiation treatment, infection, trauma, liposuction surgery, breast surgery or childbirth. Lymphedema may occur immediately after radiation or surgery, or weeks, months and even years later. Fractures and sprains may also cause lymphedema swelling that does not resolve itself. Chronic constipation and weight loss also addressed by this type of massage. A combination of Vodder and Leduc techniques used.
Kinesiology taping is not only a sports injury modality treatment but a myofascial and decongestion treatment throughout the lymphatic system. It helps with pain management and swelling, supports muscle function by shutting down the pain receptors at the skin level therefore increasing Range of motion.
Sports massage is a combination of deep compression strokes and stretches to prepare athletes for events.
Lypossage - Detoxification or Body Scuplting
Lypossage moves fluids stored in your body fat and lets your body remove them naturally. This is a non-invasive clinically proven medical massage technique used to flush toxins and medications from the system naturally. Can alleviate pain due to fascia restrictions, as well as help with weight loss, constipation, pain, and scar tissues from injuries and surgery.
Lypossage also helps remove lymphatic fluids which, when stagnant can create bumps, bulges and lumps of cellulite. It breaks up adhesions that create dimples. This is the most respected and used body contouring technique in the US and Europe with average loss of 6” (or more) with the full program. (Called “Lipossage” in Europe.) Increasingly popular for its many benefits. Best results occur with set number of treatments.

Fitness Guru / Owner
West Palm Beach's #1 Fitness Guru
My specialty is providing professional corrective exercise and techniques to increase physical fitness to improve movement, flexibility, balance and muscle tone.
With over 25 years experience in corrective and restorative exercise, medical and neuromuscular therapy, massage therapies and lymphatic drainage, I’ve helped hundreds of people regain a useful level of fitness, more mobility, better balance and significant pain reduction by using a combination of proven techniques.
Some people come for help with weight loss and overall fitness to look and feel better, get stronger. Many come for drug-free pain relief or to regain lost range of motion. Many conditions benefit greatly from the proper techniques that relieve pain and swelling, improve balance, and overall ability to move with confidence again.
Why Pilates? Pilates allows slow and easy movement without stress on the joints or taxing the body. It strengthens and lengthens muscles are needed to improve the body’s overall condition from the assaults of injuries or illnesses.
Yoga positions and stretches are valuable to relieve back or neck pain and improve muscle tone. The new “aerial anti-gravity” or “assisted” yoga allows users to stand up, aided by body slings hung from the ceiling, and use yoga positions and stretches when getting on the floor is not possible.
Massage is an integral part of pain relief, as well as allowing the body to de-stress itself naturally. Doctors prescribe massage techniques for many conditions.
Lymphatic drainage is a specialized technique to move fluids from the lymph system so that it can drain rather than causing discomfort, swelling, and loss of motion.
For high level athletes, amateur or professional, “sports massage” techniques, range of motion/flexibility protocol and strength-training principles are used to achieve a specific goal with proper timing, technique and intent.
