Rehabilitative Core Exercises
Pilates is an exercise system named for German fitness trainer Joseph M. Pilates, who immigrated to the U.S. in the 1920’s. Pilates is an impact-free regime placing emphasis on the deep core abdominal muscles to achieve a stabilized torso and pelvis while keeping limbs active and joints mobile. Coordinating the entire body, Pilates exercises connect the upper and lower musculature with the body’s center.
