INTELLIGENT EXERCISE
PROFOUND RESULTS
STOTT PILATES® is the contemporary, anatomically-based approach to the mind-body exercise method pioneered by the late Joseph H. Pilates. It incorporates modern exercise principles including contemporary thinking about spinal rehabilitation and performance enhancement. Unlike the original approach which promotes a flat back position, STOTT exercises are designed to restore the natural curves of the spine and rebalance the muscles around the joints. More emphasis is placed on scapular mobility and stability. STOTT’s method also uses preparatory exercises and modifications that make this method safer and effective for all levels of participants.
By working from the inside out - building upon core abdominal and back strength - STOTT PILATES® develops optimal strength, flexibility, endurance and posture without building bulk or stressing your joints. A perfect complement to cardio-vascular exercise, athletic training or rehabilitation, STOTT PILATES® will leave you looking toned, feeling revitalized and moving with ease. STOTT PILATES® is a fitness regime for a lifetime.
