Pilates in Sport .... Strong to the CORE!

A lot of people think that 'core muscles' refers to their ABDS but infact it includes all the muscles of the trunk that help with stabilizing and moving the spine, including scapulars and pelvis. Having strong core muscles, also called trunk muscles or the 'inner unit' that work together properly is important for all movement, from sport to basic functions of daily life. For the sporting person, this strong inner unit is a prerequisite for the prevention of injury, enhancing sport performance, improved balance and proper muscular development, as ONE complete functioning unit.

While pilates has been recognised as the chosen exercising method for many VIPS, scientific studies on its movement and sequence of routine have demonstrated that it's methodologies and benefits also belong to, and are incorporated in various general physiotherapy rehabilitation programs, and sporting development programs for athletes, in modern times.

Why Pilates? ... pilates is a series of exercises designed to strengthen the body from the inside out, starting from the CORE. Core muscles include any muscle that has role in or with one of the five major postures: standing, sitting, lying prone, supine and quadruped. Therefore, to work one or two isolated groups of muscles to train the core is not good enough ... training needs to be focused on integrated training of several muscle groups together, to which pilates addresses this issue correctly and also develops ideally.

Our program for SportPilates® and athletes develops sport specific programs/training with the following basis:

core exercises foundation exercises performance exercise

Our certified specialised and experienced trainers will lead you through the sequence of exercises and development of each stage of function in relevance to your sporting requisites. Core strength plays a role in many sports such as: baseball/softball, basketball, soccer, golf, athletics/running, swimming, racquet sports, equestrian riding, volleyball, rugby, cycling, skiing, dance, ... so when you are teeing off, or serving for an ace, or holding it together to finish the race, remember that it all starts from within, so that all the rest can strongly build around.
