Pilates: An Effective Method for Menopause

Pilates classes in Geneva work on strengthening the abdominal and back muscles, as well as improving posture and breathing.

By practicing the Pilates method, it is possible to relieve scoliosis and slow its progression.

Pilates classes target the strength and flexibility of the spine to correct poor posture. Practicing Pilates helps change the way you carry yourself in daily life: walking, carrying bags, and other everyday activities.

Scoliosis: The Benefits of Pilates Classes

Several basic strategies exist to achieve this. Among them are:

$

Lengthen the body’s central line, which will reduce the risk of developing kyphosis or lordosis associated with scoliosis.

$

Visually develop symmetry around the central line (spine) and better locate body parts, assisted by the hands of a Pilates instructor.

$

Use body awareness to develop symmetry along the central line and to recognize differences between the two sides during an exercise or movement. If an exercise highlights one side as weaker than the other, corrective effort will focus on that side. Similarly, if a stretch reveals greater stiffness on one side, flexibility exercises will target the weaker part.

$

Rotational breathing and back (dorsal) breathing. Breathing is taught on the concave (non-hunch) side of the scoliosis.
