The Body Balance Conditioning Method
An Evolution Of The Teachings Of Joseph Pilates
The Body Balance Centre Method is a unique physical fitness regime that stresses strength, flexibility, posture and coordination through implementation of a set of principles and corrective exercises. Its primary benefits include a healthier, more supple spine and stronger, more flexible muscles. Unlike traditional weightlifting, muscle strength is gained without the addition of bulk, making it an ideal companion fitness program for a wide range of sports and activities where flexibility is important. Clients report feeling revitalized, more relaxed, more confident and a more peaceful inner sense of wellbeing.
The Body Balance Method itself is an evolution of the teachings of Joseph Pilates. As a nurse during World War I, Pilates (pronounced puh - LAH - tees) created a series of physical fitness and breathing control exercises to help rehabilitate injured soldiers. He combined principles learned from the study of yoga, Zen meditation and the exercise regimens of the ancient Greeks and Romans with the result being a revolutionary form of therapy.
