Pilates was created by Joseph Pilates during World War 1 as a form of
Rehabilitation in a Prisoner of War hospital. It was found that those doing the
exercises were recovering faster than others. After the war Joe took this
exercise routine to New York and Pilates was born. It has evolved over time but
many of the original exercises are still used today in some variation. Pilates
is a variety of exercises that are based around strength, posture, good
breathing techniques, mind and body connection to name a few of the aims. The
exercises can be scaled up or down depending on each individual’s ability.
