What is Pilates?
The Pilates Method is a system of movement and therapeutic exercise developed over a span of 60 years by German born athlete and physical therapy pioneer, Joseph H. Pilates.
Utilizing the specialized equipment Mr. Pilates designed, the Method works by toning muscles as well as balancing muscular force at the joint level. It stimulates circulation through facilitating muscular flexibility, joint range of motion and proper musculoskeletal alignment. In addition, it promotes new neuromuscular patterns, heightened body awareness, and more precise coordination. All these things combine to help prevent future re-injury and reduce - even in some cases alleviate - chronic pain altogether.
Pilates dramatically transforms the way your body looks, feels and performs. It builds strength without excess bulk, creating long, sleek, toned muscles. It is a safe, sensible exercise system no matter what your age or your condition.
