Pilates:

• Is gentle on the joints, so there is little worry of over stressing an already stressed body
• Helps to develop the smaller muscle groups that work to support joints and bony structures
• Build a body awareness to balance weak and imbalanced muscles, the muscles become equally strong
• Is a great preventative medicine

Rehab Pilates not only develops strength, but it increases flexibility in muscles and joints.
This is a particularly important note for people suffering from arthritis. These clients need to keep their joints “oiled” up. They do that by using them.

Keeping a full or near full range of motion in the joints is immensely important to all people, but to arthritis sufferers in particular.
It is important to note that most Pilates instructors are not trained nor qualified to make diagnosis or treatment plans for injured clients.

All clients whether they are young or old, professional athletes or weekend warriors, can benefit from a Pilates exercise routine.
