What is Pilates?
An exercise system developed to improve posture,breathing, “core” stability, strength balance, muscle endurance and flexibility. It involves a series of controlled movements, performed on a machine or on the floor. It requires mental focus and improves your physical awareness.
What is the “core”
A term used to describe the muscles of the trunk, spine and pelvis. An efficiently functioning “core” reduces the risk of injury and improves spinal posture.
Transversus Abdominis/Pelvic Floor Muscles
Your initial assessment will include an assessment of your flexibility, muscle patterns and imbalances and a tutorial on how to activate the muscles of the “core”.
Injury Rehabilitation
Pilates exercise combined with specialised physiotherapy knowledge makes it an effective method for rehabilitating injuries of any kind, but particularly those pertaining to your back and neck.
This method of teaching is referred to as clinical pilates and the exercises are tailored specifically to improve any underlying muscle or joint dysfunctions, or movement patterns which often contribute to pain.
