Why Does Pilates Work?

Pilates is much more than stretching or strengthening—it’s a scientifically supported method of improving the way your body moves. Rather than focusing on individual muscles, Pilates trains your body to move efficiently as one connected system, improving stability, control and posture.

Many aches and pains occur because certain muscles become weak or inactive while others become overworked and tight. Pilates helps to correct these imbalances by strengthening the deep stabilising muscles that support your spine, pelvis and joints, allowing your body to move with greater ease and efficiency.

By improving your movement patterns, Pilates can reduce unnecessary strain on your muscles and joints, helping to relieve pain, prevent injury and improve everyday function.
