What benefits do I get from Pilates?
Due to the effective training method you improve the strenght of your muscles as well as your posture. Thereby you protect yourself on a long-term from injuries by
reasons of postural deformity. On the other hand also your flexibility and range of motion increase. Pilates helps you to gain well-being, a better posture and boosts your
self-confidence.
Did you know?
In many cases the spine is affected by postural deformity. It emerges from a long-term malposition and lead to heavy dorsal pain. The main reason for a malposition
often is a weak musculature, which is not strong enough to stabilize the affected bones and joints, and hold
them in the correct position.
But you don't need to have a dorsal pain first t start with pilates - due to the invigoration of abdominal, dorsal and pelvis muscles you can work on your long-term health on an active base.
