Centering

Energetically, Pilates exercises are sourced from the center. This principle basically means physical bringing the focus to the center of the body or the powerhouse area between the lower ribs and pubic bone.

Concentration

The practitioner is encouraged to commit fully to the workout being performed. A maximum value will be obtained from each movement if full attention is brought to the workout.

Control

In a nutshell no body part is left to its own device. The practitioner must have complete muscular control when doing any Pilates exercise.

Very positive treatment. I have had Tony look after my condition for well over 15 years on a regular basis. I could not be happier with his treatment & have him to thank for making a progressive & difficult condition managable & most bearable. I have great praise for Tonys knowledge & care; recommending him to many friends & family
