The basic
principles of Pilates, such as a neutral spine, shoulder
stability, using the abs to support the spine and upper body
will help you strengthen while at the same time ease some of
those aches and pains caused by overuse.
The controlled movements work the deepest muscles by strengthening the core or center of the body.
The goal of
pilates is the quality of the movement rather than
quantity
This method of exercise
was developed decades ago by Joseph Pilates.
