If you don't like strong or high-impact exercises, Pilates classes at FisioClinics Palma are an excellent option for you. This type of training is suitable for everyone, including those who have practiced little or no sports throughout their lives, but who want to improve their physical condition, flexibility, and posture.
What is Pilates and what does it consist of?
Pilates is a unique training system made up of gentle but at the same time powerful stretching and strengthening exercises that are performed in a fluid and harmonious way with calm and controlled breathing. The movements that are carried out in our classes are performed dynamically, but without impulse. Each participant in the Pilates class can and should find their speed of movement, of course under the advice and supervision of one of our certified Pilates professionals.
How are Pilates classes approached?
Concentration, precision, centering, mastery, and flow of movement combined with conscious breathing are the principles of Pilates, fundamental in each class. However, we take into account that these principles in beginner participants cannot be controlled all at the same time, therefore our instructor will assess each case and make differentiation of each of the participants, to guarantee that the class is equally beneficial for all its members.
After a brief relaxation and warm-up of the whole body, the sequences of individual movements based on the Pilates method are started, which in our classes are learned under the supervision of a certified Pilates physiotherapist, who constantly supervises and corrects their execution during the class.
The Pilates classes at FisioClinics Palma have a duration of 50-60 minutes, they are carried out in small groups to be able to adapt the different degrees of difficulty individually to each participant, guaranteeing more personalized attention.
What are the goals to achieve with these Pilates classes?
In our Pilates classes with a conscious concentration of movement and controlled breathing, we want to achieve a strong connection between the body and the mind that allows us to improve resistance to force coordination and execution of the movement. The Pilates group classes at FisioClinics Palma aim to achieve harmonious and symmetrical training that helps the body eliminate bad postural habits and misalignments that are altering the correct development of the various systems in the body.
What are the benefits that you get with these Pilates classes?
The interaction of breathing and the fluid movements that are carried out in our Pilates classes means a fairly calm and controlled workout; however, repetitions over time have a muscle-building and relaxation effect. In these classes a great emphasis is placed on breathing and posture during the execution of each movement, which leads to the strengthening and stabilization of the deep muscles of the Core (abdominals, pelvic floor, and diaphragm) that will help in a short time to harmonize movements and improve body posture, preventing postural damage from developing on your spine.
As well as contributing to the relief of muscles in a state of tension, with Pilates classes, the muscles become more flexible promoting relaxation and stress reduction. So it is a suitable training method for those who suffer from constant back pain due to stress such as neck pain, back pain, among other discomforts. Pilates practitioners gain better body awareness and manage to train their physique to effectively eliminate muscle imbalances that are causing pain.
