Pilates is essential, in addition to good physical shape, even as prevention or recovery of injuries. In the latter situation an unfortunate consequence is the loss of the ability to synchronize the movement and neuromuscular balance, the implementation of a sequence of Pilates exercises guaranteed to achieve a state of proper posture, better coordination and certainly more control of muscles. From the aesthetic point of view you get a lean and sculpted body, toned abdominals with lower back and the area more strengthened, able to deal with the loads and to establish a sort of "safety belt" to protect his back.

Pilates is a solution even in cases of asymmetry, stiffness and even malfunction of the internal organs are reasons that many times of sorrow: for when the body does not live well, whether the illness depends on the physical and psycho-emotional sphere, responds by creating a shield from the rigid muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints that finally reveal the presence of stress through the contractions.

Obviously the Pilates is also excellent for toning, staying healthy in shape, improve their sports performance. Consider that it was its founder to test the benefits of the method: the dott.Pilates as a young man suffering from asthma, rickets and rheumatic fever and to overcome the effects of poor health, and mocked the people, was motivated to create a new type of exercise that would be the solution to many physical and emotional problems and this innovation also landed in the hospital districts, for he invented a machine for years to stick with the springs to hospital beds for patients immobilized.
