A brief history of Pilates
Joseph Pilates invented what was known as 'Contrology' helping dancers and soldiers recover from injuries using springs and resistance from the soldiers hospital beds. He and his wife Clara opened their first studio in 1923 in New York encouraging students to use mind to control muscle and focusing attention on core postural muscles that help keep the body balanced and provide support for the spine. Jospeh would go on to invent the reformer and universal mat exercises that became the pilates method.
"The Pilates Method of Body Conditioning develops the body uniformly, corrects posture, restores vitality, invigorates the mind and elevates the spirit." - Joseph Pilates
