About Pilates

Pilates provides a new and improved way of life. Working from the inside out, a Pilates workout will concentrate on the deep core muscles of the body to create a girdle of strength and support for a supple and graceful body.

The strengthening and tightening of the pelvic floor muscles is an additional bonus obtained from practising Pilates. This is particularly beneficial for those suffering from stress incontinence or for an improved sex life for any postnatal mother. See our Medical Pilates section for more on this topic.

This makes Pilates an excellent choice for:

• keeping fit and supple
• rehabilitation and pain relief
• antenatal and postnatal mothers
• injury prevention for active sports men and women
• gardeners, manual labourers, dancers and couch potatoes
