Developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900s, Pilates has stood the test of time and still today continually delivers the many powerful sound mind and body benefits intended by its creator. Pilates and his wife Clara worked to develop and perfect this movement training for over 60 years, creating a mind/body exercise system that works to restore, invigorate, strengthen, educate and heal the body. Utilizing the Pilates mat and equipment movements designed by Joseph Pilates, students are challenged to improve their alignment, coordination, circulation and balance while developing deep strength, increased flexibility and graceful movement patterns.
Pilates is widely practiced today for both its rehabilitative and fitness benefits. Offered in hospitals, universities, and private studios around the world, Pilates is increasingly recognized by members of the medical community as one of the most successful ways to treat pain syndromes caused by spinal disorders, joint disease and injury.
