Intelligent Exercise with Profound Results: PILATES
It’s never too late to make positive changes for a better lifestyle.
How would we feel if we could go back in time to reverse all the
movements that caused our body pain?
Our bodies are made up of systems that enable us to function
effientiently. To keep the body healthy we need to MOVE!!!! Our
choice of movement or exercise is critical to our longevity. The
benefits of Pilates provide optimal musculoskeletal performancestrength, flexibility, and endurance- without risking injury. With a
focus on core stability, including pelvic and shoulder girdle
stabilization, neutral alignment and breathing, the Pilates method
of exercise helps restore the natural curves of the spine relieving
tension. The result: a balanced and aligned body that looks fit
feels revitalized and moves with ease. Very important goals for
the elite athlete, avid exercisers and anyone you wants to live
longer.
The skeletal bones have many functions providing levers for
muscles to control movements. Keeping proper structure
alignment will prevent joint dysfunction. Pilates encompasses
a repertoire of exercises that prevent joint injuries or rehabilitates
existing injuries. To maintain or restore pain-free dynamic posture
and movement of the body, stability and strength most be obtained.
In more simple terms, Pilates is a way to keep our spine, shoulders,
hips, knees and ankles in the most anatomically correction position
for living healthier. With back, hip and knee surgery on the rise, it
only makes sense to be proactive against injuries and increase our
overall wellness. Correcting all abnormal biomechanics and
muscles imbalances will ensure better balance as we age and make
us stronger athletes. Over twenty million American Women have
osteoporosis, a preventable disease. Hip fractures kill more
women than breast cancer because twenty percent who fall down
from a broken hip die within the year.
Pilates as a method of exercise and part of your exercise program
helps keep your bones strong and your balance in check. Let’s
face it maintaining a healthy spine will only ensure optimal health
and well-being. When we stop moving and the body becomes
rigid, it starts to shut down. Consider giving your joints the care
and attention they so need to keep you MOVING!!!!
