Pilates

Pilates is a method of exercise that rehabilitates and conditions the body for life.  It can dramatically transform the way your body looks, feels, and performs.  It is a safe and sensible low impact exercise system that will help you look and feel your best.  Pilates conditions the body as a whole, training several muscles at once, which creates a balanced and evenly conditioned body.  It is designed to balance strength and flexibility through body movements that elongate and tone your muscles.  Therefore, it builds strength without excess bulk.  Most importantly, it teaches body awareness and good posture, which is key to a healthy lifestyle.

Pilates-based Rehabilitation

Today the Pilates Method is widely practiced for both its rehabilitation and fitness benefits.  Members of the medical community increasingly recognize Pilates as one of the more successful methods to treat many injuries including spinal disorders, joint disease, and pain syndromes.  Because Pilates trains patterns of movement as opposed to isolating individual muscle groups, it can lead to fewer injuries, better coordination, and improved strength and flexibility.  The benefits of Pilates-based rehabilitation are remarkable.

• Improved posture
