Pilates: an ideal method for seniors
Over time, there is an increasing need to maintain mobility, strength, flexibility, range of motion, and balance.
The use of the Pilates method for seniors is becoming increasingly common. Among all existing programs in this field, none match its originality or effectiveness. This is why doctors, physiotherapists, and osteopaths recommend Pilates to older adults as a regular foundational treatment.
Pilates Method: Exercises Adapted for Seniors
The Pilates method is well-suited to the specific needs of seniors. Through safe and effective exercises, it offers a fitness program that is enjoyable, stimulating, and beneficial. It alleviates age-related conditions such as back pain, joint discomfort, osteoporosis, and more, while improving both strength and spinal mobility, helping to restore better posture and, consequently, a more stable balance.
Here are some specific cases where Pilates classes have proven effective: herniated discs, sciatica, osteoporosis, menopause-related discomfort, and rehabilitation after surgery (e.g., femoral neck, hip replacement, etc.).
As people age, seniors need to maintain mobility, balance, and flexibility—needs that regular Pilates practice can help restore.
The Pilates method allows movements to be performed gently and without strain. Older adults can work on muscle tone, balance, and improve posture. Pilates classes in Geneva should be practiced with a qualified instructor.
Indeed, since older adults are more prone to falls and injuries, this can lead to back and joint issues. The presence of our professional instructor ensures that movements are performed correctly, prevents falls, and minimizes the risk of injury.
