If going to the gym to use the workout equipment isn’t your thing, or maybe you’re looking to work out at home or join a fitness class in your community, Pilates might be the perfect choice for you. You hardly need any tools to do Pilates at home and you will love the wonderful health benefits that Pilates provides.

In 1965, when Joseph Hubertus Pilates was 86 years old, he stated: “I must be right. Never an aspirin. Never injured a day in my life. The whole country, the whole world, should be doing my exercises. They’d be happier.” Pilates might be your ticket to feeling strong, fit, and healthy, and you could have Joseph Hubertus Pilates to thank for that.

Pilates can improve your posture, core strength, balance, and flexibility, and it can help to prevent and treat back pain. Ten minutes of Pilates in as little as ten sessions can already improve your body, so Pilates is a great form of exercise for people who are busy and don’t have a lot of time for the gym.

Pilates has been scientifically proven to improve memory and to help to calm the mind. It has been proven to relieve anxiety, depression and negative emotions, but also to treat insomnia, sharpen the mind, relieve stress, help with chronic pain management, fight addictions, and lower blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health. Can you think of one reason why you shouldn’t practice Pilates? Pilates could be the perfect solution for you and your family, and Premier Health Chiropractors can help. We offer a Pilates program that can improve the painful symptoms you are struggling with.

Many chiropractic patients practice Pilates in conjunction with their chiropractic treatments. Pilates are exercises used to neurologically retrain and stabilize an area weakened or injured. Once the areas are stabilized, Pilates is used to strengthen the weakened area. Pilates, like chiropractic care, works to get to the root of the problem, which helps to keep the body safe from injury.

At Premier Health Chiropractors, we offer Pilates classes that can be found in several of our Twin Cities Chiropractic clinics. Our Pilates instructors will start you off slowly, allowing your body to adjust to the exercises, and will increase in difficulty as you are able to perform each set of exercises. Pilates can be performed by anyone, regardless of fitness level.

If you are interested in trying Pilates, contact Premier Health Chiropractors today. Not only can Pilates help you to look great, but you will feel great from the inside and out.
