About Pilates

A few well-designed movements, properly performed in a balanced sequence, are worth hours of doing sloppy calisthenics or forced contortion.  (Joseph Pilates)

 

The Pilates method is a body conditioning exercise therapy, targeting the deep postural muscles to achieve core stability and strength as well as improved muscle balance. It focuses on the re-alignment of the spine to its optimum position with gentle stretching and strengthening movements.

Pilates Exercises are particulary recommended for those who suffer from

  • chronic neck or back pain
  • postural problems
  • sport injuries
  • osteoporosis
  • arthritis
  • stress-related illnesses
  • And many other conditions.

It is a safe, effective way of exercising, as you are encouraged to execute the moves slowly and within your own rang of movement. That is why it falls within everyone’s capabilities:from the top athlete wanting to enhance their performance or avoid the risk of injury, to participants who have never exercised much before.
