Hello, I’m Aline de Castro.

I’m a physiotherapist from Brazil with over 15 years of experience and more than a decade of helping people improve from chronic pain through Pilates.

As a spinal surgery survivor, I understand how difficult it can be to trust your body again after a big surgery. That experience shaped the way I care for people, with patience, empathy, and the belief that movement can help you rebuild confidence, not just strength.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing persistent pain, or simply looking to move better, my goal is to help you feel stronger, more confident, and at home in your body.
