During the ageing process our bodies have a tendency to become stiff and inflexible. Poor flexibility and reduced movement are typically a major cause of muscular pain and injuries.
For peak performance in sports, a certain degree of flexibility and agility is required. Men, in particular, often neglect this aspect of their health and fitness.
During every Pilates session, the muscles and joints are worked through their current full range of motion in a focused, slow, controlled and precise manner. Strengthening whilst lengthening the muscles, target stretching, mobilising the joints – all these promote a greater capacity for movement.
