Pilates and Physiolates

The basic principle of Pilates surrounds engaging and strengthening your core muscles, which in turn improves stability, posture, balance, coordination, circulation and flexibility. Pilates has proven itself invaluable not only as a fitness endeavor, but as recent clinical studies have shown, as an important adjunct to professional sports training and physical rehabilitation post injury.

The benefits of pilates are many:

• Corrects and restores postural alignment
• Decompresses the spine and tight joints, thereby improving mobility
• Tones and elongates muscle without the added burden of extra bulk
• An aid in the development of athletic performance
• Creates core stability by strengthening abdominal and back muscles
• Corrects muscle imbalance following injury
• Develops strength, flexibility, endurance and breathing awareness
