What is Clinical Pilates?
Pilates is an exercise system that promotes a balanced mind, body and spirit. Initially invented for ballet dancers by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century, Pilates is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels. Its low impact, high reward exercises work the body through all planes of movement to develop core strength, postural control, balance and flexibility. Clinical Pilates has evolved the traditional Pilates method by incorporating evidence-based exercise to treat a variety of injuries and conditions.
