Pilates
Our Pilates Instructors have the knowledge to create a "Prescriptive" Pilates program that will benefit your particular needs.
The Pilates Method takes a whole body approach to wellness and fitness.
Each apparatus and movement may be graded to allow a great range of intensity and skill, from beginner to master level.
The specialized equipment utilizes a series of springs and pulleys to create a smooth and progressive resistance which avoids high impact to the spine and joints of the extremities. This results in a combination of stretching and strengthening which stimulates functional muscular development in a larger range of motion than traditional gym equipment.
Pilates is an effective method for core strengthening as all movements begin with central stabilization.
Some of the benefits include:
- Improved awareness of posture and body alignment
- Improved balance
- Increased strength through a larger range of motion
- Improved flexibility
Many physicians are recognizing the benefits of Pilates and have started to prescribe Pilates for their patients as an effective means for treatment of a wide variety of pathologies.
