What is STOTT PILATES®?

STOTT PILATES® is a contemporary, anatomically-based approach to Joseph Pilates’ original exercise method. Unlike the original series of exercises, STOTT PILATES® incorporates modern exercise principles, including contemporary thinking about spinal rehabilitation and performance enhancement, and increased emphasis on stability in the shoulder girdle.

STOTT PILATES® exercises are designed to restore the natural curves of the spine and rebalance the muscles around the joints. Having developed more preparatory exercises and modifications to make the Pilates Method safer and more effective, STOTT PILATES® exercises safely deliver optimal strength, flexibility and endurance, without adding bulk. It is a perfect complement to cardiovascular exercise, sport, rehab and life.
