“Exercise with a minimum of effort and a lot of pleasure!”

Pilates is a method of muscle control developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920's. This method, when it was developed, had as main objective the specific strength training for dancers and high competition athletes. Clinical Pilates is a modification of the initial method, having been made since the 1990's by physiotherapists, it has current scientific bases and is internationally recognized.
It consists of a set of exercises, adapted from the original exercises, divided into several degrees of difficulty, in order to be more directed towards physical rehabilitation. It can be applied individually or in groups, considering the individual problem of each person.
These exercises have as principles the maintenance of the stability of the spine (center); a correct body alignment coordinated with breathing; accuracy, control and fluidity of movement; and concentration, to develop body awareness.
