WHAT IS PILATES
Joseph Pilates created a series of exercises that he designed to build abdominal strength and overall body control over 100 years ago. He was a visionary who struggled himself with ailments and intensely pursued exercises on various pieces of equipment he designed to help himself and others achieve optimal health. Pilates today is a holistic approach to well-being through it's system of exercises that bridge everyday movements and optimal performance. It also bridges the path between rehabilitation and healthy movement. It is adaptable and diverse with over 600 exercises performed on different pieces of apparatus. Pilates is for every body. From the elite athlete to those with restricted ability, it offers an exercise system that enhances all ways of life. As a whole, it develops strong abdominal, back, butt, and deep postural muscles to support the skeletal system and act as what Joseph Pilates called the "powerhouse" of the body. The Pilates Method works to strengthen the center, lengthen the spine, increase body awareness, build muscle tone and gain flexibility. It is also an excellent rehabilitation system for back, knee, hip, shoulder and repetitive stress injuries. Pilates addresses the body as a whole, correcting the body's asymmetries and chronic weaknesses to prevent re-injury and bring the body back to balance.
