Through exercises performed on an intelligently designed machine called The Reformer, movement relies on your own body strength, proper alignment, and careful technique. Tendons, Joints and muscles are not only protected from immediate injury, but are strengthened to prevent future injury. You take with you an increasing economy of ease, form, and body awareness, which is the 1st step towards correcting the postural misalignments that frequently contribute to chronic back pain.

What is Pilates?

Pilates (/pɪˈlɑːtɪz/; German: [piˈlaːtəs]) is a physical fitness system developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates, after whom it was named. Pilates called his method "Contrology." It is practiced worldwide, and especially in western countries such as Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. As of 2005, there were 11 million people practicing the discipline regularly and 14,000 instructors in the United States. There is only limited evidence to support the use of Pilates to alleviate low back pain,[4] or improve balance in elderly people. Evidence from studies show that while Pilates improves balance, limited data exists on whether this impacts on falls by the elderly. Pilates has not been shown to be an effective treatment for any medical condition. There is some evidence Pilates can help muscle conditioning in healthy adults.
