What is Pilates?
Pilates focuses on the core postural muscles to keep the body
balanced and provide support for the spine. Specifically,
Pilates exercises teach awareness of neutral alignment of the
spine and strengthen the deep muscles of the back and
abdomen to support this postural alignment, essential to
helping alleviate and prevent back pain.
Emphasizing mental focus to improve movement efficiency and
muscle control, and the use of breath to promote mental
focusing and centering, Pilates creates length, strength, and
flexibility in muscles
The Pilates program is named after Joseph Pilates, who
originated the system in the early 1900’s. He incorporated
resistance using springs into rehabilitation programs for
hospitalized patients, later translating the springs into machines
to create the unique Reformer equipment now used in Pilates
training.
Pilates Equipment
The Pilates Reformer balances the resistance of springs and
the momentum created when you sit or stand on the sliding
platform and push off from a stationary bar, using cables and
other accessories to build strength, improve balance and
create effort. The personalized instruction at The Pilates Room
enables you to quickly master simple routines on the Reformer
and progress to more sophisticated moves as you gain
confidence and core strength.
