Pilates Goes Beyond the “Healthy Individual”

Backcare

Pilates exercises are really valuable in the care and prevention of back pain.

Pre/Postnatal

Modifications can be used so that a woman can safely exercise during and after pregnancy.

Breast Cancer

It is essential that the shoulder girdle range of movement is established as soon as possible after surgery. The exercises focus on strength, addressing muscular imbalances.

Mature Populations

Exercises can be performed safely, working the core and peripheral muscle groups while keeping the body upright.

Athletes and Sports Enthusiasts

Sports require mental and physical skills. Through Pilates mind and body awareness, sports enthusiasts can take their sport to another level.

Golf

Pilates strengthens the torso and helps with efficient setup and swing.

Tennis

Improves strength, rotation, and peripheral strength

Soccer

This is one of the most physically demanding games. It takes strength, endurance, speed, and agility.

Pilates helps all sports enthusiasts with strength and good postural alignment. It reduces unnecessary strain on the muscles and joints and can be used post-rehab after injury.

Men

Pilates helps increase flexibility build strength, and improve blood flow as it works the body inside out.
