We know that our health and our quality of life are positively influenced by physical activity.

Many people are used to practising regulary but the offering of the "traditional" centres and clubs are no longer, if at all, satisfactory, mainly because the results are often far off from those wished for.

Pilates method is an assembly of exercises aiming to improve muscular performance. This method exists since the twenties, names of its inventor, Joseph Pilates, an german immigrant to the United States at the beginning of 20th century.

By means of a series of varied exercices, we learn to activate the weak muscles and to relax the tense muscles, with the aim of harmonising the musclulature. It's also about becoming conscious of the way in which your body's muscles function. In this way you will learn to isolate (them) in order to strengthen (them) while lying down. The aim is to create a balance in your body centering on the abdomen, pelvis and lumbar region. Posture, the correct alignment of the body and the importance of how to breathe during each movement, form the basis of the technique.

As a result there is an improvement in strength, in suppleness, better coordination and maintenance. It's a bit as if we joined nautilus and yoga in the same training. The Pilates method can be used as a complete sport, a compliment to another physical exercise or as a method of re-education.

Whether as a top athlete or a sedentary wishing to get back into shape, everyone can benefit from the wellness of Pilates training.

 

ADVANTAGES :

The Pilates method offers more than 500 exercices combining breathing with movement, either performed on the floor or on special apparatus.

Pilates offers an overall wellness and also helps with some others :

• Improve your posture and firm and tone the muscles of your abdomen, buttocks, hips and back to favorise a good wellness of the whole body
• Develop suppleness and lengthen the column vertebral
• Relax the stiff groups of muscles (neck, shoulders, back) tone the lax groups of muscles (abdominals, buttocks) in order to balance the musculature and to relieve all tensions
• Eliminate stress due to the respiratory techniques that procure a feeling of wellbeing that energises each time
• Improve your coordination
• Prevent injury caused by bad posture

Huber® or Spine Force, is a new tool designed to work and reinforce the whole chain of muscles. The equipment can be used by all withough any restriction, regardless of your age, your goals or your level of physical fitness or any eventual specific health problems.

Contrary to certain "fashionable" machines, the Huber produces not vibration or shaking, which on a short or longer term leads to microtraumatisms, even injuries in some cases.

Designed by an osteopath, the Huber enables the re-dynamisation of the body by means of working balance, posture and muscle coordination.

The process is based on the movement of the unbalanced platform on wich you will place yourself upright.
It then depends on you to use the strength in your arms and to control the intensity of the contracting and pushing movements.

It is the deep muscles of the column vertebrale, the whole abdominal-lumbar region that are directly reinforced, consequently, all the muscles of the lower, superior and trunk as well.

Depending on the position held on the board, you can target the part of your body (thights, buttocks, arms, back, chest, etc...) that you wish to tone and sculpture.
