STOTT PILATES

What is STOTT PILATES®

STOTT PILATES® is the contemporary approach to the original exercise method pioneered by the late Joseph Pilates. The refined method resulted in the inclusion of modern principles of exercise science and rehabilitation-making it one of the safest and most effective methods available.

​Exercises are designed to restore the natural curves of the spine and rebalance the muscles around the joints by changing the sequences of the exercises, the postural alignment, and the addition of props. In addition, it includes more preparatory exercises and modifications to cater to many different body types and abilities, making it more applicable to sport-specific training and everyday life.
