Pilates for everybody!
The joy of Pilates is that it really can be a great exercise or activity for EVERYBODY!
- “Pilates is just for older people”
- “You need to be young and fit like an Instagrammer to do Pilates”
- “Only ladies do Pilates”
- “I can’t get on and off the floor, so can’t do Pilates”
- “I went to a Pilates class at the local gym, there were so many people in the class I didn’t have a clue what I was doing”
- “Pilates is too easy, it’s pointless”
Any of these sound familiar?! They are just a few comments we sometimes hear!
However, Pilates has the potential to be the one of THE best movement activities for people who want to be in less pain, tackle their longstanding or recurrent injury positively, or find more ease with day to day life and activities.
Unfortunately, those who may benefit the most from Pilates are often the ones who may feel too afraid to try. There can be fear around ability, body size, gender, age, injury and a whole other host of misconceptions. But this doesn’t have to be the way. What you’ll find at goPhysio is Pilates that really can help every body.
