What is Pilates?

Pilates is a series of exercises developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates as a way to rehabilitate wounded soldiers from their hospital beds. The method focuses on the core postural muscles which help keep the body balanced and which are essential to providing support for the spine. Often used as Physical Therapy, the method is excellent for people suffering from Sciatica, Herniated Discs, Spinal Stenosis, Scoliosis, Rotator Cuff injuries, Hip Replacements, ACL injuries, Osteoarthritis, and many more. A consistent practice of 2-3 sessions weekly will help to increase strength, flexibility, and stamina resulting in slender thighs, flat abdomens, and toned arms.
