Aside from being rehabilitative, Pilates is a phenomenal form of exercise. Pilates helps to fine tune the body from the inside out. Through the use of springs and pulleys, muscles that are inhibited or dormant are able to activate creating a better balance within the muscles and structure of the body. When the muscles are balanced and the body is in proper alignment, efficient movement patterns are created enabling the body to build strength, definition, flexibility, endurance, and speed.
