CORE FACTOR PILATES
"A man is as young as his spinal column."
"If your spine is stiff at 30, you are old. If your spine is flexible at 60 you are young"
Joseph H. Pilates
Joseph H. Pilates created these unique 34 set of Mat work exercises, as published in his book, 'Return to Life through Contrology' in 1945.
The exercises since the 1970s are commonly referred to as Pilates across the world.
Pilates is suitable for virtually everyone and specifically works the core muscles, which are the thighs, stomach, back and behind. Targeting these muscles, works the body from the inside out, improving balance, control, strength,
co-ordination and flexibility, balancing the body, mind and spirit.
Modern life takes its toll on the body from being desk bound, spending hours a week on phones and sitting down for too much time, the body starts to suffer. Imbalances in posture cause discomfort, aches and pains. Hamstrings can tighten, neck and shoulders can hold huge tension which causes a cascade effect of tightness through the body.
Pilates helps to correct and UNLOCK over-worked muscles caused by your job, hobby, driving, gardening, DIY, household chores, playing sports and also, too much time sitting down!
