Pilates
Pilates is a body
conditioning method that targets the deep abdominal muscles to build up
their strength and improve flexibility. As well as helping to resolve
the postural problems associated with RSI, the precise, flowing
movements of Pilates can form part of a controlled rehabilitation
programme. Exercises are co-ordinated with breathing which will help
with general relaxation.
Pilates is normally taught in small groups, though one-to-one lessons
can be arranged. It takes several months to absorb the basic principles
and regular practice is required to maintain the benefits. There is no
overall recognised professional body but Body Control Pilates is the
largest teaching organisation in the UK and has a
wealth of information on its website.
