How to do Pilates
You can do Pilates with a mat or equipment, like the Reformer. While Pilates uses your stabilising muscles to help you control your movements, it isn’t just about increasing core strength. You learn to use a range of muscles in controlling movement and spinal position. You also learn how to mobilise the joints through specific mobilisation exercises. Pilates may seem like a slow workout, but it’s also challenging!
Those who have developed altered movement patterns due to weakness, pain or reduced range of motion, benefit greatly from Pilates. It helps you to reduce muscle imbalances that have arisen due to pain or injury, and helps you improve the way you move.
Pilates is a fantastic workout that complements other physical activities. It ensures the body is moving in a way that can handle the demands of your activity or sports. Pilates can also be used to prevent injury.
