  • Basic information

The Pilates method is a physical and mental training system that was created by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century. It is considered a “body control method” that involves precise and correct movement and is intended for all types of people. It is a blend of Eastern and Western fitness ideas based on the concept of postural hygiene, in which the focus is on ensuring a correct posture before performing any movement. 

It incorporates knowledge from various specialisations and combines muscle strengthening with mental control, breathing and relaxation.

Today it is an indispensable tool in physiotherapy for preventing and treating musculoskeletal conditions individually or in group.
