Neuro Pilates are Pilates exercises specially adapted for those with neurological conditions. The exercises include the fundamental principles of Pilates but adapted to make them more accessible and to target specific problems associated with neurological conditions.
Who can it help?
Anyone with a neurological condition including stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinsons Disease, brain injury and many others, this list is not exhaustive!
How can it help?
Pilates exercises focus on rebalancing alignment, building strength and stability, improving posture and balance and also encouraging relaxation and breathwork. All these elements are very important for those with neurological conditions to optimise movement and function.
Will I be able to do it?
The exercises can be adapted and tailored to each individual. They can be done in sitting, standing or lying on a bed if it is not possible to get to the floor. Equipment can be used such as cushions, resistance bands, balls and small weights to maximise the benefits of the exercises.
