| Summary |
| Pilates is a proven conditioning technique which tones the muscles and improves posture and flexibility safely throughout the whole body. It concentrates on strengthening muscles without forcing them, using slow and controlled movements to avoid injury. These exercises are as suitable for chronic back pain sufferers, those interested in holistic medicine or people who have suffered injury as they are for first-time exercisers and the elderly, or for the many dancers and athletes who use this unique approach to keep their bodies in peak condition. Lengthen and strengthen, relieve stress and tension, learn to move with grace and balance and to use your body to its greatest advantage - take control of your body, the Pilates way. |
