True Balance Pilates Studio, located in Cornelius, NC, offers the best in Pilates training. We utilize not only mat techniques, but also special equipment to help you get in your best shape ever! Everyday life wreaks havoc on our bodies. Sitting at a computer for hours, carrying a child on one hip and a heavy bag on the other shoulder, or playing tennis and golf. These everyday demands on our bodies are often repetitive and one-sided, causing us to favor one group of muscles over other groups. This creates imbalance in our movement and body structure.
Pilates can correct that by:
Pilates is a series of exercises designed to ease and correct these imbalances. The focal point of Pilates is the "Core." The core muscles (the transversus abdominus, multifidus, pelvic floor and diaphragm) encompass and support the torso like a corset. Every exercise is initiated in the core and flows outward to the extremities. Pilates will help you learn to use these muscles, which will help stabilize the pelvis and lumbar spine. This stability is essential to counter the increased incidence of chronic back pain and postural alignment stressors.
As your awareness and understanding of the Pilates concept grows, your strength and flexibility increase, the choreography becomes more complex, and the layering and variations of the work deepens. The Pilates exercise method is a unique training experience that helps to build a stronger and more flexible body, improve postural imbalances, reduce physical and mental stress, and improve overall wellness.
