What can Pilates do for you?
Pilates focuses on activating the deep postural stabilising muscles in particular the abdominals and pelvic floor as well as increasing flexibility and improving the body’s movement efficiency. Because of this, Pilates is highly effective in managing:
- Low back pain
- Neck, upper back and shoulder pain
- Hip and knee pain
- Work-related pain
- Pregnancy and postnatal recovery
- Specific sports and dance injuries and technique enhancement
- Arthritis and general joint stiffness
- Osteoporosis
- Injuries from car accidents and other traumatic incidents
