It increases flexibility, range of motion, strengthens the deep abdomen and back muscles, thereby stabilising the spine and supporting the back. It is also great for toning the whole body to look lean and defined. Pilates is a complete exercise programme and is suitable for all ages and abilities. It is also used for rehabilitation and for a number of conditions including neck and back pain, prolapsed discs and MS, etc.
