Pilates

In the practice of Pilates, injury prevention is paramount, centred on technique and caring for the body. To avoid back injuries, it is crucial to maintain proper postures and progressively strengthen the core. In the knees, ensuring proper alignment and strengthening the surrounding muscles are preventative measures. Avoiding excess tension in the shoulders, performing controlled movements and strengthening the region all contribute to preventing injuries in this area. In the neck, attention to the position of the head and gentle movements are essential. Performing exercises with a controlled range of motion helps prevent joint injuries, and adapting the intensity according to your physical condition is crucial. Incorporating a proper warm-up, conscious movements and professional supervision are all strategies to prevent injuries.

To summarise, injury prevention in Pilates requires a focus on technique, gradual progression and, where possible, the guidance of a qualified instructor, providing a safe and beneficial practice.
