What can PILATES give you?
1. A healthy, flexible spine
PILATES gives more support to your spine, creating space between the vertebrae and transforming them into a supple string of pearls. That improves mobility and grace and helps prevents degenerative problems, such as slipped disks.
2. Better balance
Balance starts to deteriorate in your 40s as your muscles weaken and your nerve receptors lose sensitivity. PILATES slows this process by stabilizing your core - working deep muscles needed to keep your body steady and your spine strong.
3. Less pain and stiffness
Appropriate exercise is vital to managing arthritis, because it increases flexibility and reduces pain and fatigue. PILATES also leads to subtle posture improvements that may drive away aches throughout your body.
4. Kinder, gentler conditioning
If you're out of shape, PILATES provides a wonderful way back in. It puts no stress on your joints and no wear and tear on your ligaments and cartilage.
