Why do we do more than just Pilates?
At MyPilates, we use functional movement alongside traditional Pilates to help the brain and body work together.
In this video, Helen is using a few random props we had to hand, a battery, keys and a door stop! 😂 These became her focus points while she tapped them with her foot, working on foot-eye coordination, balance and control.
The goal? To help Helen build confidence in her weaker left leg, stand on it for longer, and learn to move her leg from the hip without swinging it out to the side.
Once we had worked on the functional movement, we took it onto the mat with traditional Pilates exercises to strengthen and reinforce the movement.
It’s not always about doing more Pilates, sometimes it’s about finding the right movement for the person. 💫
