The Joseph Pilates’ Method re-shapes the body by targeting and strengthening key postural muscles and re-balances it to return it to its natural alignment. It relieves stress and tension, improves posture and flexibility and gives relief from back pain and other musculoskeletal problems. Pilates avoids the muscle and ligament damage sometimes associated with other fitness regimes and consequently plays a key role in many injury rehabilitation programmes.

Pilates is increasingly used by athletes to enhance their performance and is recommended by physiotherapists, doctors, chiropractors and osteopaths. It is suitable for people suffering from back pain, RSI, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, sports injuries, asthma, ME and stress related illnesses. It can be helpful in the management of degenerative neurological problems and is ideal as a preventative measure against future back problems.

Body Control Pilates © was the first Pilates specific training provider to be awarded level 3 advanced teaching standard in the UK and as such is recognised by the Register of Exercise Professionals.
