What Is Pilates?
Pilates is a training system focused on posture, alignment
and balance. Using specially designed spring resistance-based
equipment and specialized mat exercises, you will develop
core strength and postural awareness. The first emphasis
is on building a strong, supported, yet flexible spine,
and becoming aware of and strengthening core muscles
that support the pelvis and shoulders. Gradually the
entire body is challenged to connect into this strength,
and the whole body becomes more integrated and stronger
and less prone to injury.
Pilates focuses on deeper muscle groups, or local stabilizing
postural muscle systems. These deep muscles, or slow-twitch
muscles, are critical in managing joint movement within
a safe range of motion while maintaining joint stability.
Pilates starts training the joints at lower loads in
isometric and concentric ranges and then slowly progresses
to strenthening eccentrically (when muscle is extended)
thereby creating safer range of motions in joint deceleration.
Pilates is a form of movement therapy with cueing and
progression focused on developing appropriate muscle
firing patterns to reduce tension and increase strength
thereby reducing chronic use injuries and alleviating
tension associated with acute injuries.
Core Benefits

support neutral joint positions

nervous

approach to the body
- Complements and enhances any sport or activity
