The art of Controllogy
Pilates is an intelligent mind-body approach for improving posture, control, movement patterns and strength. This movement theory was developed by Joseph Pilates (1880-1967) during the First World War as a rehabilitation program for war veterans. Believing that mental and physical health are intertwined, he developed exercises with an emphasis on controlled precise movements. The Pilates method was soon applied in the professional ballet world and has always remained so. Joseph Pilates called his method 'the art of controllogy'; the principle that you can take control of the functioning of the body with your mind.

Pilates for rehabilitation
During injury and pathology, the body creates alternate movement patterns and compensatory strategies to help protect itself and get rid of painful or weak spots. Pilates treats these imbalances from a neurological, stability, and strength perspective to not only aid in healing and pain management, but to enable you to move on to higher-level activities, sports, or recreation.
Pilates for sports
Pilates focuses on stability, control, biomechanics, and functional strength to create a change in how your body moves and where your body absorbs load, to reduce the risk of injury and other problems caused by muscle imbalance. By making small changes in alignment, strength and biomechanics, your body's output is more efficient, optimizing performance and minimizing injuries and setbacks. We recommend Pilates Lucia for athletes with specific or clinical goals to support your sport.
