PILATES
Joseph Pilates created a type of movement called Contrology, which is a challenging low impact exercise method that balances strength with mobility, aligns the body, fine-tunes movement patterns, and strengthens the deeper muscles of the core. Pilates aligns your entire body’s overall structure and supports its joints. What appears to look simple can be deceptively challenging and incredibly effective when done correctly with proper form.
Pilates is a low impact exercise that creates optimal strength through muscle balance and fine-tuning neuromuscular patterns.
The optimal strength gained from a consistent Pilates practice is nonrigid, balancing strength with mobility and flexibility. It helps you move and breathe through your daily activities with more freedom and power and less pain. Flexibility is the amount of passive stretch in a muscle. Mobility is the range of motion at a joint. Good mobility requires flexibility, but also strength. You need a balance of strength and flexibility to optimize mobility. Below are just a few benefits of regular Pilates practice….
Increased Core Strength
Improves Posture & Cognitive Function
Decreases Back/Joint Pain and Stress
Prevents Injuries
Increased Energy Level
Improves Body Awareness
Improves Balance

All bodies are unique and their movement programs should be too.
Programs are designed specifically for each individual and can vary each session depending on fitness goals, body’s feedback and recovery. One of our goals should be to find a balance between mobility and strength to reduce chronic pain and prevent injuries. Tired of dealing with chronic pain, poor posture or fatigue? A consistent movement program that addresses proper body mechanics and alignment is crucial for feeling better and maximizing performance.
A well-rounded and functional exercise program that incorporates strength, stability, mobility and flexibility using proper alignment and neuromuscular patterns will help us move better and feel better and enable us to participate in life to the fullest.
