About Pilates and How can it help over 50s?
Pilates is a complete movement method developed by its founder Joseph Pilates. Over the course of a lifetime dedicated to improve physical and mental health. Pilates focuses on building core strength gently and improving your posture through a series of low impact strengthening and stretching exercises. It corrects muscular imbalances and restored good alignment. It teaches you to create a movement and space in your body with focused breathing.
It is perfect for over 50s and seniors looking to enhance their awareness in their body, look after their joints and avoid the risk of injury. Its slow, controlled approach means that it gives much longer-term results. It is especially recommended by medical specialists for those with back problems which includes your abdominals and back muscles. Strengthening them without restraining them can help reduce lower back pain and even help you sit and stand taller. Pilates helps maintain the integrity of your spine and gives you more control over how your body moves and feels.
