Pilates is a form of low impact exercise which focuses on strengthening the body and correcting movement dysfunctions. It concentrates on posture, balance and flexibility with an emphasis on core strength.
Pilates sessions at Comfort Health are developed to meet the specific needs of an individual, to improve their general fitness and wellbeing.
Although Pilates tends to target you’re core the exercises work other areas of you body at the same time. Pilates involves slow, precise movements and uses breath control. This focuses the mind-body connection and has been linked to improving mental health.
Pilates can benefit everyone! It can be modified to be a gentle strength training programme or a challenging workout. Your instructor will make adaptions in each session to bridge between the two. It can be used as an accessory to keep the body running at optimum health and strength as well as decrease pain, especially in the lower back.
