Since then, Pilates has been used for a vast arrangement of exercise, treatment, and strength training. Each exercise in Pilates begins with controlled breathing techniques to begin the contraction of the core muscles. Exercises can take place on a mat, similar to yoga, or on specialized equipment that uses springs, levers, and your weight to provide resistance. Utilizing Pilates for rehabilitation purposes has been a growing trend in the physical therapy field for quite some time now. Pilates not only aids in the recovery from bodily injuries, but it also helps with improving overall health, increasing strength and movement, and making your immune system strong.
