Pilates

Pilates is a fitness program developed by Joseph Pilates in the 20^th century.  Pilates is based around 7 basic principles consisting of breathing, centering, concentration, control, precision, flow of efficiency of movement and flexibility. Exercises are preformed with attention to breath, releasing and preventing tension.  Building core strength and control through movement will benefit posture and spinal alignment.  When our muscles are weak they make compensations for each other, which lead to instability and injury.  Pilates encourages you to think about how you perform everyday movements.  It heightens your body awareness which in turn improves your overall agility, flexibility and strength.  It helps you to ensure your body is working at its optimal level all the time.  Pilates can give people with pain an opportunity to move in a pain-free manner, as well as preventing injury.
