Pilates was created by Joseph H. Pilates to rehabilitate soldiers injured during World War I. Over a period of 25 years, he developed a body conditioning system, which has become known as the Pilates Method. It involves over 500 movements designed to easily strengthen and stretch muscles using the body's own gravity. Pilates may include matwork, props and use of specialized Pilates equipment. The exercises are gentle, the repetitions are low, and the benefits are great.
While each person will have different needs to fulfill their personal goals, Pilates can:
- Increase strength and flexibility
- Improve posture and coordination
- Relieve muscle and joint pain
