PILATES
Pilates is a form of physical exercise that uses controlled movements to strengthen the entire body, with its main focus on building the "powerhouse" (the muscles of the abdominals, back, and hips). This physical discipline was discovered by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century. It was called "Contrology" as it was a form of physical conditioning that uses the mind to control movements.
If practiced with consistency, Pilates:
- builds total body strength
- improves flexibility
- Builds awareness of alignment to help prevent injury
- Relieves stress through the breath-work
- Builds endurance by developing smooth and control movement
Pilates is also non weight bearing, so it's very gentle on the joints.
Perfect for those recovering from injury or surgery.
