Mind + body conditioning

Better movement starts with better control.

Pilates is a controlled movement programme that focuses on the deep postural muscles of the trunk, with attention to stability, alignment, breathing and body awareness.

At Amesbury Physiotherapy, classes are led by Chartered Physiotherapists with APPI training and musculoskeletal experience. Small class sizes allow movements to be observed, corrected and adapted to different abilities.

WHY PILATES?

Build a stronger foundation for everyday movement.

01

Core stability

Train the deep trunk muscles that support controlled, efficient movement.

02

Posture & alignment

Develop greater awareness of how you organise your body through movement.
03

Strength & balance

Use controlled loading and resistance to build useful strength and balance.
04

Rehabilitation

Pilates can be adapted to support return to movement after musculoskeletal problems.
THE 8 PRINCIPLES

Mind and body working together.

Pilates is not simply about completing exercises. Attention to the quality of movement is central to the method.
01

Concentration

Pay attention to how the body moves.
02

Centring

Create a stable base from the trunk.
03

Precision

Make each movement deliberate and accurate.
04

Alignment

Organise the body well through each exercise.
05

Control

Avoid rushing and own the range of movement.
06

Co-ordination

Link different parts of the movement together.
07

Flowing movement

Move smoothly rather than in disconnected pieces.
08

Breathing

Use breathing as part of movement and control.

More than following a sequence.

All instructors are Chartered Physiotherapists and APPI members with experience in musculoskeletal care. That clinical background helps exercises be adapted around age, injury history, movement confidence and experience.
