A regular Pilates regimen can help you achieve flexibility and increase your stamina. All of the exercises will be tailored to your individual needs and abilities.

Pilates is an exercise method which was originated by Joseph H. Pilates during World War I to rehabilitate the injured soldiers and prisoners. The exercise method, which consists of hundreds of movements, is designed to develop the muscles which are necessary to build a strong, balanced and flexible body.

The Pilates method is best taught by a certified instructor who is comprehensively trained to teach the full-body system. Students learn specifically sequenced exercises which emphasize alignment, breathing, concentration and precision.

Pilates exercises are not harsh on the joints. The exercises may be modified to accommodate the needs or limitations of a specific individual. Pilates complements chiropractic care by targeting the deep postural muscles. Pilates builds strength and flexibility from the inside out. All exercises are done in a low number of repetitions. Private, semi-private, and group classes are offered.
