Pilates can help you regain efficient patterns of motion — a great benefit to those recovering from injury, professional athletes and performers, or anyone seeking good posture and optimal health.

Many exercise regimens emphasize the muscles that are already stronger and neglect those that are weaker. Instead, Pilates emphasizes flowing movements requiring the use of multiple muscle groups simultaneously, while using controlled breathing and concentration.

A Pilates session stabilizes the pelvis and shoulder girdle, as well as stretching and strengthening the entire body. Pilates elongates the spine, increasing the elasticity of muscles and the flexibility of joints. This balance between strength and flexibility drastically reduces the potential for future injury.
