Benefits of Pilates
The changes one can experience from Joseph Pilates’ movement system are as profound as they are numerous. While there is certainly positive impact on the body, there are also equally powerful shifts that happen mentally and emotionally; truly Pilates can enhance your overall quality of life.
Pilates helps:
- Build longer, leaner musculature
- Create functional strength (helps make all the things you want – and need – to do throughout the day easier)
- Enhance flexibility and joint range of motion
- Heighten mind/body awareness
- Strengthen the core (muscles of the abdominals, low back, pelvis and gluteals)
- Sharpen mental focus
- Improve posture
- Promote better quality sleep
- Lower chance of injury
- Reduce stress
- Enhance sport performance
- Elevate self confidence
- Empower you – inside and out!
While Pilates is a great and restorative tool for the low back, we strongly advise you to see your doctor before starting this or any exercise program if you have spinal concerns.
