The Pilates method of Body Conditioning improves:
|
| The Pilates Method works many of the deeper muscles together, improving coordination and balance, to achieve efficient and graceful movement. Rather than pursuing the unrealistic goal of having an ideal or perfect body, the practitioner develops a healthy self image, through the attainment of better posture, proper coordination, and improved flexibility. Pilates is a complete fitness method and when performed regularly, it positively changes bodies. It improves muscle control, strengthens and tones. The effects of Pilates are more than just physical. You will feel revitalized, relaxed, confident, invigorated and more flexible through a new sense of well-being. Many clients would agree it's like going to a chiropractor, getting a massage and exercising all in one! Because Pilates exercises are low-impact, they can also ease back and joint pain and the symptoms associated with ARTHRITIS. Pilates moves can help people with both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis by stretching the ligaments around the joints and squeezing the joint lubricant, called synovial fluid, into the cartilage, thereby easing stiffness. If you have arthritis, ask your health care provider before getting started, and be aware that Pilates exercises are not a substitute for exercises prescribed by your doctor or physical therapist. Make sure you tell your instructor you have arthritis. |
