"(Contrology) develops not only the muscles of the body, suppleness of the limbs, and functioning of the vital organs and endochrine gladns; it also clarifies the mind and develops the will." -J.H. Pilates- Pilates is a unique system of rehabilitative and conditioning exercise created by Joseph Pilates in the early 1900's. He studied Yoga and the rigorous exercise regimens of the ancient Greeks to help improve his own health. During WWI, he continued to develop and use his work to help rehabilitate wounded and ill people. His method (then known as Contrology) grew in popularity in Europe, and in 1925 he brought it to New York City, where it quickly became a training mainstay for dancers, performers and athletes. Pilates is no longer exclusively for the "physically elite", and is now widely used as an exercise system for anyone, regardless of age or ability. Medical professionals recognize the therapeutic potential of this system, and many hospitals and clinics now offer Pilates for injured and physically challenged patients. As corrective exercise, Pilates balances and strenghthens the pelvis, hips, low back and deep support muscles. This helps prevent injuries and minimizes the problems from pre-existing injuries.
