Pilates was originally developed in the 1920s by Joseph Hubertus Pilates, designed to elongate, strengthen and restore the body to balance. We use Pilates to improve your core strength (key in protecting the spine), and to remove imbalances within the body which may predispose you to injury.

Joseph Pilates originally worked with gymnasts and elite ballerinas so some of the traditional movements are hugely unsuitable for the average person. At Body Rehab Studios Pilates is only taught by Physiotherapists who really understand each individual client’s body to ensure a safe and effective programme.

Critically the ability to engage the core is assessed using the Realtime Ultrasound Scanner which is only available in a limited number of clinics. Engaging the core system forms the foundation of all the exercises and unless taught correctly both the enjoyment and benefits of Pilates can be lost.

We have worked with clients with many different requirements, those awaiting spinal surgery, pre and post natal ladies and even those who have had joint replacements. At a higher level we have also worked with elite ballerinas, international athletes and the armed forces where Pilates has been focused to be both challenging and pin point specific to their needs.
