Why Physio Led Pilates?

The Pilates principle works on building a foundational strength for the body. Incorporating whole body health, whole body commitment and breath. It establishes the importance of beginning movement from a central core stabilisation and building from this. Practicing Pilates regularly can increase strength, improve flexibility, relieve stress and develop a strong healthy posture. Most importantly reducing the everyday aches from sitting at a computer or laptop for many hours.
