Rewire How You Move. Reclaim How You Feel.

Jan McGrath, South Dakota’s First Certified Neurocentric Trainer & Founder of Pilates Whole Body

Move Better. Feel Stronger. Live Confidently.
​Hi, I’m Jan McGrath—founder of Pilates Whole Body and South Dakota’s first Certified Neurocentric Trainer.

Why Brain-Based Movement Gets Results
Your brain runs the show—every movement, every muscle, every moment. That’s why I train your nervous system first. It’s not just smarter; it’s faster, more effective, and long-lasting.

NeuroPower combines:
💪 Precision of Pilates
🧠 Brain-based neurocentric exercises
👁 Retraining vision, balance & sensory systems

The result?
Less pain. More power. A body that feels stable, strong, and ready for anything—at any age.

​From Frustrated to Free: My Story
Years ago, I experienced persistent pain and physical limitations. Despite trying countless therapies, nothing made lasting difference—until I discovered the missing link: neurology.

I began my training with Z-Health Performance Solutions®, a neuroscience-based education system used by elite athletes and movement professionals around the world. It changed everything.

Now, I integrate brain-based movement into every session I teach—because when you train your brain, your body follows.

What Makes My Approach Different

Most movement methods focus only on the body. I focus on what controls it: your brain.​

Using brain-based movement techniques, we can:

• 🚫🩹 Reduce pain without stretching or pushing

• 🔄 Improve mobility and range of motion in minutes

• 🌱Rebuild confidence in how your body moves

​It’s not magic. It’s neuroscience in motion.

You don’t have to push through pain. You can train your brain instead.
