No other exercise system is like Pilates. While other forms of exercise develop the big surface muscles such as the large muscles of the thigh, the calves and biceps, Pilates uniquely targets the deep postural muscles that keep us balanced and allow us to move freely. Their job is to support the skeleton importantly the spine, and the joints such as shoulders, pelvis and knees. When they don’t do the job properly we often experience pain and loss of mobility.
The natural muscles are vital in supporting the spine and it is often the lack of function in these muscles that lead to debilitating back pain. By working from the inside out, waking up and strengthening the deep postural muscles – the unseen muscles that hold us together – we create a strong and flexible body able to meet the demands of your daily life.
Pilates is infinitely adaptable and suitable for everyone whatever level of mobility – the seriously fit athlete, those who suffer back pain or joint problems, for pregnancy rehabilitation following childbirth.
