What is Pilates?

Pilates is a conditioning program that improves muscle control, flexibility, coordination and strength. The basic principles of Pilates conditioning are:

• Relaxation
• Concentration
• Alignment
• Centering
• Breathing
• Co-ordination
• Flowing Movements
• Stamina

The exercises are based on the principle that by developing a strong and flexible torso with a stabilised core (abdominal, back and pelvic muscles and shoulder girdle), the whole body can be balanced, aligned and conditioned.
 

Clinical Pilates

Many injuries are the result of, or are perpetuated by, imbalances in posture, muscles or movement. Such imbalances will respond to appropriate therapeutic exercise training designed to address dysfunction and degeneration and prevent chronicity. Clinical Pilates is instructed by a physiotherapist or exercise rehabilitation specialist. These classes are run on a one-on-one basis.
