Developed from the rehabilitation
techniques of Joseph Pilates. Pilates is a safe, sensible exercise system
that will improve core strength, flexibility, agility and economy of
motion
The core fundamentals are based on thorough understanding of the anatomy
of the human body. The Pilates Teacher uses this information to create
a comprehensive programme, with the aim of restoring a greater sense of
balance. It is a holistic approach recommended by physiotherapists, osteopaths
and GPs.
Pilates is an exercise method which relies on strengthening core postural muscles and developing body alignment. It avoids muscle and ligament damage. The aim is to help your body to operate in an effective and efficient manner.
