Pilates

Pilates based exercise is an alternate approach to total body conditioning.  It  focuses on development of core musculature including the abdomen, low back, inner and outer thighs and buttocks, thus providing a strong base of postural support and reducing stress on the spine and weight bearing joints.  Through smooth integrated movement patterns, utilizing various resistance and less repetition, numerous muscle groups work simultaneously to increase strength while producing long, lean musculature without added bulk.  Pilates is a versatile form of exercise, which works deeply into the muscle through concentration, breathing and controlled movement.  Live Well offers Pilates as a form of fitness training and as a means of performing therapeutic exercise for rehabilitation.  One on one instruction is provided for healthy individuals seeking Pilates as an alternate form of exercise.  Individual programs are established for injured persons based on medical necessity, and are carried out under the direction and supervision of the Chiropractor.

Desired Results:

• Improved posture

• Elongates and tones muscles

• Develops strength through full ranges of motion in joints

• Increases muscular endurance
