What is Pilates?
Pilates is a form of exercise, developed by Joseph Pilates, which emphasizes the balanced development of the body through core strength, flexibility, and awareness in order to support efficient, graceful movement.
"In 10 sessions you'll feel the difference, in 20 sessions you'll see the difference and in 30 sessions you'll have a whole new body." Joseph Pilates
Is Pilates best conducted by a Physio?
If you have issues or problems that will be exacerbated by core strength exercises it can be a real bonus to have Pilates lessons from a physiotherapist. A physiotherapist is a health care professional who specialises in maximising human movement, function and potential.
A physiotherapist may work with someone after injury, accident or surgery, or may work to prevent injury for instance with sporting clubs or in the workplace.
