Pilates is about improving strength and control of the ‘core’ abdominal muscles to achieve a more efficient whole-body functioning system. Accurate technique and positioning is the key to getting the most out of Pilates. This is only achievable with close monitoring by the instructor, as well as their feedback.

Como Pilates is based on Clinical Pilates (designed by Australian physiotherapists), a variation on the Pilates method founded by Joseph Pilates in the 1920s, which was primarily used by dancers and gymnasts.  Como Pilates incorporates clinical pilates as well as a range of physiotherapy exercises designed to improve whole body strength, flexibility and function to help prevent future injury and rehabilitating those with existing injuries.  Pilates is suitable, and beneficial, for all ages.
