Are you interested in taking up Pilates classes? Perhaps you are curious and wish to find out what Pilates is about. We offer APPI Pilates classes at our Patrick’s Quay clinic in Cork City, which will be led by Chartered Physiotherapist Breda Walsh starting on Wednesday 16th May 2012.
What is Pilates?
This form of exercise was designed with strengthening of the core as the fundamental component to the concept of Pilates. Core strength involves the deep muscles of the abdomen and back working together to provide more strength to the body and also extra support for the spine. Pilates exercises teach and encourage an awareness of the individuals breathing and of alignment of the spine to help strengthen the deep torso and abdominal muscles.
