Pilates is a unique form of exercise developed by Joseph Pilates over 50 years ago, designed to strengthen the deep core muscles which give stability to the spine and so helps maintain a healthy back. Pilates is a mind and body technique requiring co-ordination of breath, movement and concentration on different body parts to perform precise smooth flowing movements.
