Why do Pilates? What is ‘CORE’ stability?

To work the ‘CORE’ is to activate deep muscles of the abdominal wall and spine that should be supporting us in the activities or our daily life. When effective they are like a corset stabilizing the pelvis and lumbar spine movement in relation to strong movements of trunk, legs and arms. With the practice of core stability work you should see an improvement in your balance, strength and control and in your bodies natural healing capacity. The performance of movement in rest, work or recreational activities will be markedly improved and any pain related issues should decrease or disappear.
