Clinical Pilates

Pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on improving flexibility, strength, and overall body awareness. It was developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates, a German physical trainer. The Pilates method aims to create a balanced body by targeting the core muscles, known as the "powerhouse," which includes the muscles of the abdomen, lower back, hips, and glutes. The exercises in Pilates are designed to enhance core strength, stability, and control while also promoting proper alignment and posture. Pilates is known for its emphasis on precise and controlled movements, with an emphasis on breath and mindfulness.
