Clinical Pilates: Private Classes for All Ages and Fitness Levels
Private and Group Classes for All Ages and Fitness Levels
A German athlete named Joseph Pilates developed a revolutionary form of exercise in the late 1920’s known today as “Pilates.'' The Pilates method comprises more than 500 exercises performed on a mat or by using special equipment developed by Joseph Pilates to emphasize spring resistance. Pilates focuses on flowing movements requiring the use of the “powerhouse,” or the core of the body, which includes your deep abdominal muscles, buttock muscles, and muscles around the spine.
In the rehabilitation world, the benefits of Pilates-based rehabilitation from a physical therapist and certified Pilates instructor are remarkable. Pilates has improved or cured many injuries and disorders, and even strengthened affected muscles.
In 2005, Orthosport spearheaded the integration of the Pilates method into patient treatment.
