Pilates in Melbourne CBD, Vic

Pilates focuses on strengthening and improving the mobility of your whole body. Clients are guided through specific movement patterns that will boost their strength, overall fitness, posture and health.

Clients are assessed as to their level of fitness and capabilities prior to commencing Pilates based exercises so that their program can be tailored to their specific needs and aims.

Exercises using a Pilates based ethos are very technique specific and the emphasis is always on correct execution.

Principles of Pilates

Principles that guide your exercise performance during your sessions include concentrating on each movement, use of the abdominal and low back muscles, flowing, precise movement patterns, controlled breathing and the use of mental imagery such as “vertebral stacking”.

At Healthcare on Collins, the number patients who present with postural complaints is high and is often the result of poor ergonomic setup at work or home.

Exercise using Pilates principles will help in targeting the muscle imbalance, stiffness and tightness which are common consequences of poor posture.
