Pilates
Pilates Hong Kong
Pilates is a method of body conditioning that focuses on training the small deep postural and core muscles of the body using a mixture of stretches, relaxation and strengthening exercises.
The principles of Pilates method emphasise on proper controlled execution of movements through mental concentration, proper breathing and body centreing techniques.
Your instructor may prescribe a combination of mat and machine based exercises depending on your condition.
Pilates is a gentle, low impact form of exercise that is suitable for most people, regardless of age, body shape and even in pregnancy. Especially beneficial for anyone recovering from musculoskeletal injuries.
Pilates not only helps activate the smaller under-used postural and core muscles but also builds flexibility, endurance and co-ordination.
These are important attributes for efficient locomotion, postural alignment and health. However, they are often interrupted by illness, injuries and poor posture.
Pilates ensures timely recovery from injuries by enhancing the neurological pathways of the body through the slow, controlled, precisely executed movement routines.
The focus on deep breathing will ensure the body is relaxed and well nourished with oxygen and the expulsion of contaminants from our lungs.
