PILATES

and how it can benefit your health

---

Pilates (/pɪˈlɑːtiːz/;[1][2] German: [piˈlaːtəs]) is a type of mind-body exercise developed in the early 20th century by German physical trainer Joseph Pilates, after whom it was named. Pilates called his method "Contrology".[3] It is practiced worldwide, especially in countries such as Australia, Canada, South Korea, the United States and the United Kingdom.

Pilates developed in the aftermath of the late 19th-century physical culture of exercising to alleviate ill health. There is, however, only limited evidence to support the use of Pilates to alleviate problems such as lower back pain.[5] While studies have found that regular sessions improve balance, and can help muscle conditioning in healthy adults, it has not been shown to be an effective treatment for any medical condition. 👉🏻 Learn More
