About Pilates
Pilates is an exercise system developed to create strength, flexibility, and postural alignment. Pilates will increase movement efficiency and, because it focuses on core strength, Pilates is fantastic for injury rehabilitation and pain alleviation related to back or joint injuries, including disk issues and whiplash. Pregnancy, postpartum fitness and overall general fitness and well being can be enhanced with Pilates.

Pilates is an exercise system designed by Joseph Pilates to create core strength, flexibility, and postural alignment. Used as a therapeutic technique to rehabilitate back injuries, joint injuries, and neck injuries, Pilates can help to decrease pain and increase strength and movement capability.

Pilates is an excellent means of supporting a woman’s body during the changes associated with pregnancy and also to re-condition the body after the baby’s delivery. Alone, or added to any existing work-out regimen, Pilates will increase movement efficiency leading to longer golf drives, smoother ski runs, and more comfortable century rides. Pilates is designed to restore a body to its innate rightness.

Joseph Pilates was born in Dusseldorf, Germany in 1880. Because he suffered from rickets, rheumatic fever, and asthma, he was always searching for ways to improve his fitness level. He studied Eastern and Western forms of exercise and he watched how wild animals moved in the woods near his home. Putting this together with his knowledge of anatomy, Pilates developed a method of body conditioning he called Contrology, so called for its emphasis on controlling which muscles were used to move the body.
