What Is Pilates?

Pilates is a unique method of developing good muscle condition in your body. Pilates uses the integration of muscle control, breathing, endurance and strength training, body awareness and flexibility. The foundation of Pilates is gaining control and endurance in your core postural muscles. These muscles help you to maintain good posture as well as provide a foundation from which you move the rest of your body, whether through participation in sports, walking, running, cycling or any movements that your body makes.

How Does Pilates Work?

Your Pilates Physio at City Physiotherapy will focus your attention to developing controlled movements in the muscle groups that you specifically require strengthening as they may present as being weak. By focusing on precise and smooth flowing movements you gain greater control over your body. You may have a week core, it may be weak gluten or a weak upper back or shoulder. Pilates can be tailored to work specific regions of the body with specific movements.

Pilates can be used for rehabilitation from injury as well as for improving general overall fitness and flexibility.
