Pilates, Fitness, Rehabilitation, Sports Conditioning

Pilates improves flexibility, agility and economy of motion thus greatly reducing the chance of injuries. It can even help alleviate back pain by developing a strong "core". By emphasising proper breathing, correct spinal and pelvic alignment, and complete concentration on smooth, flowing movement, Pilates enhances body awareness, good posture and graceful controlled movement. Proper breathing is essential, as it helps you execute movements with maximum power and efficiency. In addition, breathing properly can reduce stress as well. Pilates is an innovative system of mind-body exercise evolved from the principles of Joseph Pilates nearly a century ago. Pilates is a safe, sensible exercise system using a floor mat or equipment, that will help you look and feel your very best. No matter what your age or condition, it will work for you.

Pilates Body Pilot works closely with Osteopaths and Orthopaedic Consultants, providing follow-up care after diagnosis or surgery. On your first private appointment, we will start with a comprehensive Postural (Static) and Biomechanical (Dynamic) Assessment, to identify any problematic areas which assists us in tailoring a program for you. Our Polestar Pilates trained team will use techniques such as Myo-fascial Release to loosen up tight muscles and Pilates movement exercises to strengthen weakened muscles.
