Clinical Pilates
Pilates is a therapeutic exercise program used by the Physiotherapist in the rehabilitation and prevention of musculoskeletal injuries. In Pilates the natural balance of muscles is re-established. The shortened muscles are elongated and the weakened muscles are strengthened, and the deepest muscle groups are also exercised.
