The Pilates method is a system of exercises that was developed by Joseph Pilates in the 20th century with the purpose of improving muscle strength and developing overall fitness.
Clinical Pilates, an adaptation of traditional Pilates, serves to provide therapeutically modified exercises in order to assist in rehabilitating and preventing injuries.

Clinical Pilates is a goal-oriented therapy that can be used to address a wide range of injuries and conditions. It focuses on building a strong foundation within the core by targeting the deep abdominal and pelvic floor muscles.
By generating a stable framework, an individual can then progress to address postural dysfunction and work on generating improvements in balance, strength, motor control, coordination, flexibility, and breathing. It is also a beneficial way to participate in low-impact exercises in order to maintain your overall health.
