Fit-For-Purpose
Pilates
One of the great things about Pilates is that it is highly adaptable. Even if you have very specific needs.
For example, Pilates can be extremely helpful if you are:
Pre- or post-natal. Pilates will help you stay fit and healthy during your pregnancy and help you reconnect with your core and pelvic floor muscles after delivery.
-
Recovering from an injury or surgery. Pilates is holistic and focuses on breathing and activating target muscles. It can help promote the healing process.
-
Experiencing chronic pain or specific pathologies. The targeted approach of each lesson and the specific muscle contractions will reduce your pain and help with long-term strengthening.
-
An athlete trying to enhance performance. Pilates offers different strategies to increase mobility, endurance, and stability and improves movement pattern skills.
-
An athlete trying to stay fit during less intense training periods. Your specific sports training likely involves repetitive use of the same muscle groups, which may cause imbalances. Pilates is a great way to rebalance the body.
-
A desk worker who spends a lot of time sitting and/or working at the computer. Pilates can improve your posture and relieve your neck or lower back aches. Pilates will also boost your focus.
-
An elderly person who wants to keep a healthy mind and body or has a specific need. Pilates offers a variety of exercises that can improve your movement and help with agility during common chores and daily activities, such as going up the stairs.
