The History of Pilates

The Pilates method was developed in the 1920s by Joseph Pilates. Its primary purpose is to aid in recovery from musculoskeletal issues and to help individuals improve functional movements. Pilates exercises use body weight (mat Pilates) or additional resistance from equipment such as the Pilates Reformer or Pilates Chair. This method combines movements with breathing control, enhancing overall strength and flexibility. Over the last decade, it has gained popularity not only as a general exercise but also as a rehabilitation tool.

Why Choose Clinical Pilates?

Unlike the classic Pilates method, which focuses on general strengthening and can be performed in larger groups, Clinical Pilates focuses on the unique needs of each individual after an injury or surgery. This is why it is conducted in one-on-one or small two-person sessions. Additionally, a key advantage of Clinical Pilates is that it involves clinical assessment by a certified physiotherapist. This ensures the optimal combination of exercise knowledge and understanding of pathology, creating a personalized exercise program that addresses the specific issue while ensuring safety and minimizing the risk of worsening symptoms or re-injury.
