Repetitive actions and sustaining a position for prolonged periods of time often result in an imbalance in muscular strength and poor posture. This is an occupational hazard common to the sedentary, screen- biased society of today.
Poor posture and imbalanced muscular strength cause movement inefficiency, reduced flexibility, poor balance and misalignment of the joints. All of these factors are potential for pain, if not injury.
Studio Pilates has a strong focus on core strength but it also works on the body as an integrated whole, bringing about balance and symmetry. It develops your self-awareness and increases your understanding of how you hold and move your body. This provides you with the strength and the knowledge to find postural support with your muscles.
As your body becomes more conditioned and your posture improves, you will find that you feel more energised and that you move more easily and with greater flexibility.
