Pilates is an increasingly popular form of exercise and rehabilitation in Ireland. Pilates involves the training of core muscles (within the back and the stomach) and the muscles around each joint. This promotes better posture and better movement reducing the stresses on these joints caused by everyday wear and tear.

We use the Stott Pilates method which has been developed by fitness professionals, physiotherapists and sports medicine professionals over the past two decades.

The inclusion of modern principles of exercise science and spinal rehabilitation in Stott Pilates makes it one of the safest and effective methods of strengthening one’s core muscles. It is used in rehab, prenatal care, by athletes, celebrities, and everyone in between.
