What is Pilates?

Our rehabilitation approach incorporates The Pilates method and principles. The Pilates method is a system of exercises that was originally developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920's. Pilates is system of exercises designed to promote strong core postural muscle strength, including the abdominals, back and buttocks which is especially useful in the rehabilitation and prevention of injuries.

The Many leading back specialists endorse The Pilates method as the therapy of choice to prevent surgery and/or assist in rehabilitation post-surgery. Our Pilates-trained Physiotherapist will prescribe the appropriate pilates exercises specific to the goals and needs of each client. Close supervision by trained Pilates Physiotherapist is necessary to execute the exercises correctly, prevent injury with the pilates exercises and achieve the goals of the pilates program.
