Primary benefits of pilates
There are many physical benefits pilates can provide for our body with the most common being:
- improved flexibility
- increased strength, and
- enhanced control and endurance in the entire body
Pilates especially targets core strength and trunk control with an emphasis on alignment, breathing and improving our coordination and balance. As a result this develops a base on which arm and leg movements are performed, enhancing function and performance of our entire body.
Who Can Benefit From Clinical Pilates?
Pilates can help anyone who would benefit from moving better as it’s whole body movement quality focus means it can help with issues in any region of the body.
Being low impact makes it suitable for injury rehabilitation, people with pain and for people who have health issues that reduce their capacity to exercise.
Pilates is a fantastic way to strengthen and tone your muscles and a great addition to any fitness program.
It is used for strength and conditioning for many sports where balance, coordination and fluidity of movements is important; think swimming, netball and AFL.
Breaking down and practicing these controlled movements allows the athlete to perform them safely and effectively in gameplay, reducing the risk of injury.
As it is low impact it rarely upsets a training program, so it can be integrated into rest and low load days to aid recovery.
As Pilates is focuses on core strength and control and is low impact it can be widely used during and recovering from pregnancy.
It can aid in the recovery of the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles.
It is very important to seek a qualified health professional to help start a post-partum exercise program and to find the best one for you.
