    Pilates Rehabilitation Benefits

    Pilates addresses the needs of people at all levels of physical activity, whether a high-performing athlete, a weekend warrior, or recovering from an injury. Based on Pilates' principals that developing strong "core" muscle improves posture and spinal alignment and relieves tension and tightness that often contributes to musculoskeletal pain.

    • Builds balance and kinesthetic awareness

    • Develops long, lean muscles

    • Stimulates circulation and immune system function

    • Improves mental clarity, reduce stress and tension

    • Enhances joint flexibility, muscle strength, and mobility

    • Heightens neuromuscular coordination

    • Improves functional muscle movement

    Pilates History

    As a child, German-born Joseph Pilates was weak and frail. He developed his wellness regime to improve his health, physical strength, and stamina. To help overcome his childhood ailments, he began his lifelong health improvement journey. He perfected his exercise technique while in a British interment camp during World War I working with injured war victims. The Pilates exercise system was fine tuned in the 1920s and in 1926 he immigrated to the United States and opened his first fitness studio in New York City. Over the years, Pilates is now embraced worldwide and has developed into an internationally recognized method of exercise, emphasizing flexibility, balance, the core muscle strengthening.
