Benefits of Pilates
Our bodies are made up of various layers of muscles from superficial to deep. Conventional exercise predominantly works our superficial muscles. Clinical Pilates targets our deep core muscles. These deep muscles aid in stability around the joints of the body which are vulnerable to injury. Clinical Pilates aims to improve the body’s control and stability of the abdominal, pelvic floor and deep stabilizing back muscles and to help promote injury prevention.
