A Licensed PTA on your bench. For the ongoing work — balance, mobility, and pain management — that keeps 55+ clients moving.
Erin Pickus is a Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant and Yoga Alliance CYT-500 with twenty years of teaching experience. She specializes in the maintenance care older adults need most — balance, mobility, and pain management — keeping progress going long after a clinical episode of care has ended. Available as a specialist contractor to partner studios and wellness facilities across the Charleston lowcountry.
01Three pillars Erin maintains — for life, not just rehab
Balance
Practical fall-prevention work for clients with growing fall risk or post-fall hesitation — steadiness, gait, and confidence rebuilt one step at a time. 1:1 or small-group.
Mobility
Restoring the everyday movements aging quietly steals — sit-to-stand, reaching overhead, turning, stairs — so the body stays a willing partner in daily life, not a barrier to it.
Pain management
A breath-led practice for clients living with chronic pain, tension, or stress — slow breathing, gentle stretching, and meditation drawn from twenty years of therapeutic yoga.
Therapeutic & chair yoga
Twenty years of teaching adapted for aging bodies — chair flow, breath, core & pelvic stability.
02Who this helps your studio retain
- Members living with chronic pain, tension, or stress
- Members recovering from joint replacement or surgery
- Clients with balance changes or recent falls
- Members aging into deconditioning or stiffness
- Spouses of members who need a gentler entry point
- Discharge referrals from local PT clinics
03Two ways we could work together
On-staff specialist
Erin holds set hours at your studio for 1:1 sessions billed through your facility — your members, your front desk, her credentials.
Referral partnership
Members who need clinical-adjacent care get referred to Erin for in-home work, then transition back to your studio for ongoing fitness.

Erin will come to your studio, learn how you work, and tell you honestly whether she's the right fit.
