What is Pilates?

Developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900’s, his philosophy attempts to re-educate our bodies to move with precision and co-ordination with optimal joint stability, control and without pain.

Its techniques can be adapted to suit all levels and abilities to strengthen the abdominal and spinal support network to prevent back pain and injury, helping to create a strong and supple body.

Excellent for individuals with back, shoulder and hip pain, Pilates will help to correct posture and alleviate symptomatic problems, preventing its recurrance.  Helpful post-operatively or after injury, for on-going rehabilitation and mobility. For those looking to improve their sporting skills, Pilates can assist in improving neuro-muscluar pathways and co-ordination for fluidity of movement.

The Hale Pilates Studio aims to combine the traditional teachings of Joseph Pilates with up to date scientific understanding of how the body really works, using physiotherapy based techniques to bring you an exercise programme which is individually designed and balanced, without the risk of injury.
