What Does Pilates Therapy Offer?

The benefit of Pilates Therapy with Kings Langley Physiotherapy Clinic goes beyond just a core muscle workout. It helps you develop an awareness of body movement and posture which is so important when managing chronic aches and pains, e.g. back, neck or joint symptoms or general weakness in the abdominal or pelvic muscles following surgery or pregnancy / childbirth.
Some of the main benefits of Pilates include:

• Reactivates core stability muscles.
• Improves and corrects posture.
• Improves flexibility.
• Increases strength.
• Reduces stress.
• Assists in reducing joint pain.
• Improves muscle tone.
• Helps focus the mind.
• Promotes confidence.
• Increases body awareness.

It tries to reduce the stresses placed on our spines, joints and muscles thus helping to live with existing symptoms, to reduce the risk of recurring symptoms or causing further injury due to muscle weaknesses or imbalance.

Pilates is also recognised as a foundational exercise for any high level sporting activity. From professional show jumpers to rugby players and cricketers to ballet dancers, Pilates is widely acknowledged to be essential for maintaining functional strength in top level competition.
