My mission has always been to help others achieve their goals. I set out on my own in 2005, after years of working as a physical therapist.
Synergy+ is the evolution of my lifelong goal of creating healing repertoires that are built piece by piece for each and every person.
Everyone has their own problems, but we all share the same body. Knowing how it all fits together is the key to understanding how to address individual issues.
This course combines all the knowledge and experience I’ve synthesized in over 20 years of healing others.
Zeina A. Grifoni is a licensed physical therapist, Pilates instructor, and movement and rehab specialist.
She is the owner of Synergy+ Physical Therapy & Pilates Studio in San Rafael, CA and in Locarno, Switzerland. Zeina has been teaching Pilates certification courses since 2005.

Unlock the Healing Power of Pilates
Joe Pilates himself was a sickly child who suffered from asthma, rickets, and rheumatic fever. Out of pure determination, he dedicated his entire life to improving his physical strength. For Joe, Pilates was a healing process, and it can be the same for you.
Pilates from the start was a healing modality, with the goal of building strength. It goes beyond just getting the body to function, but allows it to thrive. It allows us to perfect our body, by building strength in all our muscles, big and small.
There are many different things you can address by combining the mentality of Pilates with Physical Therapy. Pilates provides you with a way to strengthen and lengthen the muscles and ligaments in a more holistic way then using PT alone.
Going to the gym for a Mat Pilates class may be a good way to get fit, but you may have back issues that prevent you. The difference at Synergy+ is we can help that person regardless.
You can build strength to increase performance, but a part of body may be too weak. Combining these modalities in our unique blend is how we can get people moving and increasing performance regardless of their starting point.

Forging a Philosophy that Works
Why am I so confident in my methods?
It’s based on sound scientific knowledge and established practices. I’m not inventing a whole new modality, but rather understanding exising ones completely. I then developed processes to dive into every detail of the issues my clients face.
My extensive knowledge of anatomy and healing modalities allows me to build the perfect program for each person.
The most important thing:
It works
Many of the people who come to me have been many other places before. They were exposed to the methods that were insufficient. They went the “prescribed” route, but found no success.
