Pilates is a unique method of body-conditioning developed by the late Joseph Pilates (See Pilates: A brief History ). It is an exercise method that focuses on training our core postural muscles to improve our body control and stability.

Pilates involves core elements which include: 

• Conditioning
• Stamina
• Relaxation
• Concentration
• Co-ordination
• Breathing

Pilates is very safe and is suitable for all ages and levels of fitness and is great for: 

• Improving body awareness
• Increasing flexibility
• Decreasing stress
• Improving posture

Pilates is used widely by health professionals in the treatment of spinal pain. 

Body Mechanix Physiotherapy can provide Pilates on both an individual and class basis. 

“Physical fitness is the first requisite of happiness. In order to achieve happiness, it is imperative to gain mastery of your body. If at the age of 30 you are stiff and out of shape, you are old. If at 60 you are supple and strong then you are young."
