What is Pilates
Pilates relates to a series of some 500 exercises developed over 60 years ago by the German athlete Joseph Pilates. He was a sickly child and devoted his adult life to bodybuilding and fitness exercises. He used disciplines from circus performing, martial arts to dance and even boxing and he had a natural understanding of the human body. All of the fitness exercises eventually culminated in the development of the ‘Pilates technique.’ Later it was modified for dancers and this is the version that is commonly practiced today.
Joseph Pilates
Joseph Pilates was a hospital intern during the war and used his principles to help patients rehabilitate when they had lost limbs. He would remove springs from the beds and encourage the patients to use the springs to strengthen weak muscles. The Reformer and the Cadillac are machines that are used for Pilates and these were designed from his original work with the hospital beds.
After the war he set up a studio in New York and Pilates became popular with Dancers suffering from fatigue and injuries. He had a holistic approach to exercise and was very disciplined. In later years Pilates ‘the method’ went through various adaptations combined with modern physiotherapy and it became popular with the general public. It has evolved even more now and is becoming a very effective and popular method to either be practiced in small classes or on a one to one basis. There are a few organizations that have set up and put together training facilities for teachers and have a very high standard. Pilates came more into the limelight since the likes of Madonna has started to extol it’s benefits.
