Why Physical Therapists love Pilates:

Posture
Pilates focuses on proper postural alignment.

Stability
Pilates promotes stability or co-contraction around the joints. It is as important to CONTROL movement as it is to be strong.

Mobility
Pilates utilizes active muscle contraction to achieve range of motion which is safe. It is also effective as it teaches the brain to use the newly achieved movement!

The tissues need regular input through hands on work, maintaining good posture, stretching and strengthening.
The more it receives these on a regular, consistent basis, the less pain and dysfunction will occur.
