If you wish to achieve a better posture, be more mobile and gain confidence to cope with everyday challenges, Pilates could support you as you start to make healthier choices for yourself.
In this video, Debra Stork, Pilates Instructor at Horder Healthcare, goes through the key elements of Pilates.
5 Key elements of Pilates
- Postural awareness – to reduce pain from poor postures;
- Effective breathing – used to release excessive tension and rigidity in the body;
- Deep abdominal and pelvic control – based on recent medical research, Pilates retrains the use of these muscles to prevent and rehabilitate LBP;
- Concentration – helps to focus the mind on the body and the way it moves;
- Movement co-ordination, flow, and stamina – to teach the body to move more freely and efficiently.
