Pilates for fitness & theraputic benefits

Known for its fitness benefits, Pilates is also widely practiced for its therapeutic qualities. Because of its strong focus on good posture, efficient movement and strengthening of proper musculature, many health professionals recommend Pilates for quick recovery from injury and good general health. At PowerMoves, Pilates' rehabilitation sessions use controlled, low-impact movements to help improve your posture, overall flexibility, mobility, motor control and precision in movement - resulting in productive and efficient muscle function, applicable to your daily life.
     Pilates' exercises on apparatus such as the Reformer help your body regain functional movement following injury or surgery and can also ease neck and back pain. Because movements focus on core stabilisation, Pilates realigns your body and prevents muscular imbalance, while correcting your breathing - helping to ease pain, stiffness and rigid joints. Regular practice also reduces stress and anxiety.
