What Pilates can do for you - from everyday life to winter sports
Pilates - more than just fitness
Pilates is an integral part of many gyms today. But did you know that it also plays an increasingly important role in physiotherapy? Studies show: Pilates can help relieve pain and improve mobility and stability - and in everyday life as well as in sports.
Safe through the winter - prevent snow sports injuries with Pilates
The cold months are just around the corner and the ski season with them. As beautiful as winter sports is - unfortunately the risk of injuries is part of it. The knees, head, shoulders and thumb are particularly affected.
A good interplay of muscle strength and body feeling (the so -called proprioception - i.e. perceiving your body movements) is crucial to prevent injuries. This is exactly where Pilates comes into play: it strengthens your deep muscles and improves your body control. You not only go on the slopes more safely - you also have more fun and feel more comfortable in your body.
Stay young with a movable spine
Joseph Pilates once said: "You are only as young as your spine is flexible." And with that he was right. A mobile, strong spine not only helps against back pain, but also gives you more security in your everyday life - for example when bending down, turning or wearing.
Pilates trains exactly: your spine becomes more flexible, your posture improves, and you get a better feeling for your body. Whether on the mat or on special devices - there are suitable exercises for every need. And best of all: your connective tissue (the fascia) also benefits what can have a positive effect on your entire health.
Strengthen shoulders with the Pilates Reformer
Do you have tension in the neck or problems with your shoulder? A bad attitude or too much sitting can lead to the shoulders and back. Pilates can help improve your attitude and to specifically strengthen the shoulder muscles.
With the Pilates Reformer - a special training device - you will learn to move and control your shoulders better again. Depending on the training status, the exercises are adapted and help you to go through everyday life again and without complaints.
Pilates for healthy legs - even after injuries
Pilates is not only suitable for prevention, but also for rehab - for example after knee injuries or operations. Especially with the Pilates reformer, exercises can be designed so that you can train slowly, safely and individually - depending on the phase of your healing.
From relieving training to demanding movements: Pilates accompanies you step by step back into everyday life - or even back to sport.
Training with the Pilates ARC ™ variety guaranteed
The Pilates ARC ™ is a versatile training device that is particularly suitable for spine mobilization and strengthening. It supports your back in movements and always brings new stimuli into training through its special design - perfect if you want to improve your balance, strength and mobility. Ideal also for group courses!
Pilates in physiotherapy - specifically, gently, effective
More and more physiotherapists: Inside, Pilates use them as an integral part of their treatment. With targeted exercises - partly with devices, partly on the mat - you can strengthen muscles, relieve pain and increase your mobility.
The special thing about Pilates is not about speed or sweat, but about control, precision and body awareness. This helps you to carry out movements more consciously and better understand your body - a huge advantage if you z. B. have back pain or want to make you fit again after an injury.
Conclusion: Pilates adapts to you - not the other way around
Regardless of whether you become fitter, prevent injuries or recover from an operation: Pilates can support you on your way. You don't need any previous knowledge or special fitness - just a little curiosity and desire for movement.
