Pilates and Diversity.
Silvia Puentes, founder and director of Elite Pilates explains how Pilates can be practised with any physical condition, morphology and at any age. “One of the objectives of the Pilates method is the acquisition of body and movement awareness. It is a body training that forces us to recognise, feel and know how to move the different structures of the body in order to make them work in a conscious way. In this way, we acquire the necessary control to carry out effective and efficient movements, which prevent injuries and ailments, improve the qualities and functions of the body and establish new connections at a neuronal level. This is the fundamental basis that makes Pilates a safe method with full guarantee of short and long term results for any type of person, regardless of age, morphology or physical condition. Each session and each exercise can be specifically adapted to the physical, mental and functional state of the person according to their capacity, pain, injuries and/or decompensations that cause an incorrect postural pattern. In this way, Pilates helps to strengthen and improve muscular imbalances by focusing on the development of the internal muscles and seeking the correct body alignment, giving stability, strength and flexibility to the spine. These are the characteristics that the body needs to be healthy and to perform any daily action in a healthy way. In addition, Pilates works on our breathing and coordinates it with muscular activity and our movement, providing oxygen to the tissues. That is why it is never too late to practice Pilates. It is perfect as a child or adolescent so that our body develops correctly and acquires a healthy physical preparation, avoiding possible future health problems. As an adult or elderly person, it improves our physical shape, slows down chronic pathological processes, delays deterioration and improves the symptoms that these entail. According to each physical form, morphology or age, we can personalise each class to the maximum by applying various modifications to avoid certain movements or unnecessary and harmful tensions in each state or process. Anyone can enjoy the many benefits of Pilates. The ideal is that, regardless of physical characteristics, state of health or age at which you start, the person who practices Pilates leaves the sessions with the feeling that they understand their body better and that it is beginning to be under their control.
