Pilates is a method of exercise that focuses on working the muscles from the inside out rather than the outside in. This means that the deepest layers of muscles in the torso (inc. transversus abdominis and pelvic floor) are trained to protect the lower back while allowing the body to perform movements with more ease and fluidity.

There are many different methods of Pilates each of which has evolved from the original teachings of Joesph Pilates, a German born medical professional who developed his own exercise method to treat wounded soldiers during the First World War.

The STOTT PILATES contemporary, anatomically-based approach to the original teachings of Joesph Pilates makes it one of the safest exercise methods available and it is used by rehab, pre/post-natal clients, athletes, celebrities and everyone in between.
