The PhysioWise Story

PhysioWise is a Rehab Pilates program that specializes in back and orthopedic rehabilitation using both pilates and exercise therapy.

The founder, Tuula Niskanen, is a licensed physiotherapist in Finland with multiple fitness and Pilates certifications in the US over her 30 years of experience. She noticed that there was a lack of education and too many short-term solutions for back pain. This is why Tuula researched her own methodologies providing long-term solutions for back-pain relief focusing on the education and improvement of muscle functions.

Having taught Pilates in Carlsbad, CA since 2008, Tuula has helped numerous clients suffering from back pain, orthopedic pain, and neurological conditions. Tuula wanted to help individuals all across the world with her program, which is why she brought PhysioWise… Online.

The PhysioWise Online Program combines Pilates and exercise therapy to effectively improve your rehabilitation process safely all from the comfort of your home.

What You Need To Learn And Practice For Long-Term Back Pain Relief

Movement Heals

Focusing On Proper Muscles

Body Awareness

Specialized Program

Movement heals, but only if done the right way

Many people fear movements and have spent a fortune on pain relief, including passive treatments that never solve the underlying problem – that is your body. 

Movement encourages your healing process by carrying nutrients and oxygen into the disc spaces and soft tissue in your spine for improved function and reduced pain. The PhysioWise Online program teaches you the proper exercises that are essential in your lower back pain recovery progress!

Focus on the proper muscles 

Another underlying problem causing back pain is the lack of inner core support. However, many traditional back exercises engage the wrong superficial muscles, and even increase uncontrolled mobility (instability) and decrease stability. 

In order to get better and reduce the pain you need to learn how to use the proper muscles by strengthening your inner core. The PhysioWise Online program teaches you how to strengthen your deep abdominal and back muscles, as well as other key muscles that are vital for back pain relief.

Master body awareness

Your brain and body are integrated in your everyday life and activities. Most people who suffer from back pain lose the sense of control over their body. 

Developing body awareness is often the most difficult and most important aspect of your recovery process to reduce pain. The PhysioWise Online program can help you re-educate and re-connect your brain and muscles to work together.

Specialized program for prevention

Many back pain recovery programs fail because of three main reasons. First, the exercises are too complicated and difficult to follow. Second, they lack a focus on spinal stabilization. Third, the programs target more superficial muscles which can do more harm than good. 

The PhysioWise Online program is specialized for lower back pain sufferers. It will not only relieve your back pain, but also help you prevent it in the future. It is designed to promote your overall spinal health by improving mobility, stability and strength.

I cannot tell you enough how much Tuula has changed my life. “I went from not being able to participate in any activities because of my chronic back pain to now being almost completely pain free. After working with Tuula I am able to run again and even go skiing. My core has never been stronger!”

Client Testimonials

I am avid road biker who use to suffer from back and shoulder pain. Traditional physical therapy didn't help. I was looking for a specialist who can help me strengthen my core and rehabilitate my shoulder from an old injury. I found Tuula at PhysioWise, Carlsbad. She is a physiotherapist and Pilates instructor originally educated and trained in Finland. Her program to reduce my back pain and improve my shoulder range of motion allows me to move without pain. I can ride longer without my back getting tired. I credit her program to where I can now comfortably ride centuries. I can warmly recommend her to everyone who has back issues or orthopedic injuries.

I am disabled in my back and left leg. I have gone to 4 physical therapies. Not one EVER even Mentioned the Word Alignment Tuula is truly an artist of Alignment and balance Of Every muscle and All Alignment... She Immediately analyzed my lack of Alignment... Tuula watches every Muscle, and every move that Puts your Alignment off to any degree. I’ve Never had Care that even came Close ; Her Eyes Are Constantly watching every move I make. The slightest degree off balance Is Immediately Corrected. I had a back surgery 10 years ago. That wasn’t Supposed to touch my back all failed and my scoliosis is much worse. Tuula makes sure I’m learning to feel balanced Not only with Tuula, but to Take it with me... She is Amazing. Certainly Not Just Pilates.

Tuula is absolutely amazing. I have had a injury for 5 years and she has helped me as no one else has. Grateful for Tulla and can’t recommend PhysioWise highly enough!
Nava Young
Tuula is wonderful, and her services have improved the strength and balance in my muscles to protect arthritic knees (without any pain after any session). She is detailed in alignment and far more knowledgeable than any other Pilates instructor I have been to (she was a PT in Finland). I am so glad to be getting stronger, without pain!
Jennifer Lyons
Tuula is a physical therapist and a Pilates instructor. She is frankly the best I have ever worked with (note: I have had to go to physical therapy on a regular basis since 1996 so I know an excellent instructor from a just okay one). She guides me through my work, knows exactly what my body needs and I am so grateful. I am stronger, more agile, more flexible because of her abilities. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER WORK and I plan to continue with her weekly for a long time. It has made a huge difference in the quality of my life.
Maureen Pierre
I had the privilege of working with Tuula while visiting my daughter this September. I have enjoyed Pilates for several years and Tuula takes it to another lever. She is knowledgeable and intuitive. She taught me so much about my body and how it works. I have been able to incorporate her lessons into my practice back home. I can’t wait to get back to Carlsbad and work with her again!
Dawn Kyle
Tuula showed me that Osteoporosis doesn't limit your ability to do Pilates or exercise. Through her knowledge of physiology and safe movements, she guided me through Pilates with a focus on buliding core strength. Tuula watches every move and works with me to improve balance and posture and at the same time, doesn't let me slack off during the session. I came her for help with a limitation and ended up being a happy client for over 4 years because it was fun. I recommend Pilates PhysioWise for anyone who is looking to come out of a physical setback and wants to emerge strong and confident., pulvinar dapibus leo.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Tuula for 9 years. She has helped me with hip and knee pain, including pre and post knee replacement surgery. Her extensive knowledge of physical therapy and Pilates is a unique combination in keeping fit and working through arthritis.
Karen Bond
Doing Pilates with Tuula has been life-changing for me. I'm in my 60's, struggling with fibromyalgia and years of deconditioning. Working with Tuula has helped reduce my pain and made me much stronger overall.
Debra Sherman
Tuula has a rare combination of extensive experience & knowledge in PT and Pilates. She is truly a rare find! On top of this her European approach to patient care is very personal and friendly - unlike any I have experienced in 100's of hours of PT before. I have 20+ years experience trying many different modalities in conventional and alternative treatments for recovery and pain from 3 surgeries. Lastly she loves her work and does not charge an arm and a leg like most other treatments I have tried before.
