Pilates is a unique fitness technique developed by Joseph H Pilates in the early 1920s. Unlike other fitness methods, Pilates uses controlled movements to target and isolate specific areas of the body while promoting overall improvement in movement efficiency and coordination. It focuses on developing strength from within, realigning the body, and improving posture.
Participating in Pilates classes at The Pilates & Therapy Centre can bring several benefits, including increased strength, flexibility, tone, posture, and coordination. It is also an excellent way to relieve stress and tension. Many professionals in the medical field, such as physiotherapists, osteopaths, and chiropractors, refer patients to Pilates due to its effectiveness in managing low back pain, neck problems, and recurrent injuries. The exercises can be modified to accommodate and support injured areas while strengthening the surrounding muscles.
Pilates is considered a mindful and thought-provoking exercise that requires concentration and focus to achieve optimal results. Regularly following a structured Pilates routine under the guidance of a professional instructor can lead to a balanced body, improved body awareness, and overall well-being. This enhanced physical condition can have positive impacts in various sporting activities, including rowing, racquet sports, football, cycling, swimming, and golf.
At The Pilates & Therapy Centre, Helena Bradwell combines the fundamental principles of Pilates with the latest sports science and research. The studio is staffed by highly qualified teachers who have extensive experience in Pilates machinery, mat classes, sports massage, remedial exercise, and sports therapy.
Whether you prefer personal training on a one-to-one basis or small private group sessions limited to six participants, The Pilates & Therapy Centre can cater to your needs.
