Benefits of Pilates
My Pilates Hub
What are the benefits of Pilates?
Whether you’re performing Pilates on a Reformer bed or a mat, the benefits are endless!
These benefits include: core strength, posture, balance, longer and leaner muscles, endurance, flexibility, improved joint mobility, spinal mobility, mental wellbeing and general body awareness to create a better physical and mental version of yourself.
Like with any exercise, the more you practise, the better and stronger you will become.
Two sessions a week is recommended for maximum benefit, this could be blended with a group mat session, 1-2-1 mat or a Reformer 1-2-1.
Rehabilitation through Pilates based exercise
What is the difference between Reformer and Mat-based Pilates?
Reformer Pilates focuses on core strength and proper muscle engagement on a bed with pulleys and tension cables. We perform closed-chain exercises due to this resistance: low-impact, high resistance.
Mat-based Pilates is open chain, as you have nothing but yourself to resist against. Mat-based Pilates is fantastic in its own right, but the results are slower.
Reformer Pilates provides faster results; one session of Reformer Pilates is worth 6 of those Mat-based.
Booking 10 sessions will improve your body goal and alleviate pain quickly.
We have only one body, so it’s definitely worth investing in.
“Change happens through movement, and movement heals.”
Joseph H. Pilates
