What is clinical pilates?
The pilates approach was founded by Joseph Pilates, who used the idea originally during World War One on injured soldiers to assist in recovery. From there, Joseph took his skills to New York where he worked with success with dancers and actors.
Such success did his approach have that physio's have taken the pilates principals and modified it's exercises to suit the average person. The clinical pilates approach is a safe and monitored exercise program to effectively improve the way your core muscles work and hence re-educate the entire muscular system.
In addition, it can improve your strength, muscle tone, bone density, flexibility, balance and coordination.
