The Pilates method was named after its founder Joseph Hubertus Pilates who was born near Düsseldorf, Germany. As a child, he suffered from asthma, rickets, and rheumatic fever. Throughout his life, he dedicated himself to strengthening his physique. He developed a special breathing technique to address his asthma, studied the muscles of the human body, and, with the help of his father, began practicing gymnastics, yoga, and bodybuilding.
