The Pilates System
Return to Life through Contrology
Regardless of age we want a healthy pain free life. Too much repetitive exercise and too much sitting as well as inactivity causes neck issues, shoulder issues, hip issues, knee issues and lower back pain. Pilates works on postural defects, stretching strengthening and muscle imbalance. You can be pain free!
Pilates is an exercise method that focuses on developing core strength. It works the deeper stabilising muscles of the body and corrects muscle imbalance. It is low impact exercise which aids in identifying and improving the weaker areas of the body. All the exercises are executed with awareness and an understanding of the body’s mechanics, ensuring that even the smallest movement has value. You will experience more strength and control.
Why Pilates?
- Improve Mobility & Balance
- Stretch to improve stiffness
- Strengthen your core
- Breathing exercises to destress
- Improve your game
All the above will improve and strengthen your posture and invigorate your mind and body
