CENTRAL COAST BASED PILATES 

Physical fitness is the first requisite to happiness 
— Joseph H. Pilates (1883-1967)

Originally called Contrology...

Joe Pilates developed a series of mat exercises to promote fitness, general health and wellbeing. He also designed specialised apparatus or equipment using springs that allow for functional, every day and sports specific movements to be deconstructed and then challenged with gravity and variable levels of resistance. The genius of the springs is they resemble natural isotonic, concentric and eccentric movement patterns of our muscular system.

Joe Pilates also believed in the potential to achieve control of the mind over the body through regular practice of his exercise system  incorporating six specific concepts or principles which are, concentration, centering, control, breath, flow and precision. In essence we understand this today as motor control or neuromotor fitness, as Joe would often say "It is the mind that shapes the body".

Joseph Pilates was way ahead of his time. He dedicated his life to helping people overcome their physical limitations with his unique system of exercise therapy and has influenced not only the global fitness industry but the way in which physical therapy is practiced today by mainstream health professionals.

Performed correctly Pilates method of exercise can increase core stability, co-ordination,

flexibility, muscular endurance and general wellbeing.
