Many of you have been asking and expressing amazement after a few Pilates sessions about how essential it is to protect the spine and preserve its flexibility in today's world. Given that most of you have deskbound or standing jobs, both of which strain the muscles and the spine. Not to mention the posture, which is also influenced by the curves of the spine.
The essence of the Pilates method lies in strengthening the ‘core’ (deep muscles), increasing spinal mobility, and developing muscle strength and body awareness. Through its exercises, certain musculoskeletal problems affecting the back, hips, knees, and shoulders can be effectively managed, addressing imbalances in muscle strength.
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.
