Pilates as a sport

I am very happy that I decided to practice Pilates. Despite not having any injuries, doing Pilates helps you feel better. Pilates makes you aware of your body and helps your posture, avoiding possible injuries. It can complement other sports but it is also a complete exercise for those that cannot practice them. The most important thing is to find a serious and professional place, like Elite Pilates, where you are permanently supervised by amazing teachers. I encourage everyone to try it because it will hook you.

Pilates with Cervical Pain

I started doing Pilates at the recommendation of my Primary Care doctor and my Neurosurgeon, after a series of injuries in my cervical and low back area. My specialist told me that I should exercise, but in a controlled environment because I have a delicate neck and otherwise I might injure myself and cause more pain. Since I started Pilates at this center, not only are my back and neck pain gone, but I have also improved my strength, flexibility and posture. I am extremely satisfied and recommend it to everyone.

Hello everyone! I have been doing Pilates since 2006. I started because of a medical recommendation due to cervical osteoarthritis and pain caused by bad posture at my office work. I am lazy by nature, but I managed to do it. I think of it as my weekly aspirin, it helps me be aware of bad postures and re-educate my body. It seems difficult, but with your own perseverance and the professionalism from the teachers at the center it can be done. I won’t lie to you, it's tough, but it's 100% worth it.

But since I started doing Pilates I have seen an incredible improvement. I have strengthened my back muscles and improved my posture, making my back pain disappear. I have to confess that the laziness in me sometimes makes me not want to work out, but whenever I finish the class I leave with the feeling of having worked my whole body without getting exhausted and feeling completely stretched.

Pilates with Scoliosis

I have been doing Pilates two days a week since 2008. I started practicing it due to the back pain I suffered, caused by scoliosis and several lumbar protrusions. The Pilates method has helped me improve my quality of life. It is rare that my back bothers me, thanks to the strengthening of my muscles. Stretching has also helped me be more agile and flexible. The improvement of my posture helps maintain the correct alignment of my back and prevent my scoliosis from worsening. I can recommend the practice of the method to anyone who wants to use it as rehabilitation for a back injury, it really works and makes you exercise while you are at it.
