Pilates for Men: and why it matters

Not only do men's muscles get tighter as we get older but old injuries begin to plague us more, so, we do a little less and the cycle continues. 

The answer is to change the type of movements we do to keep up with the changing growth patterns of our bodies.

The key to that is to work on balance, nerve flossing and do slower, more focused movement to stretch our muscle fibres and prevent tension becoming pain. 

Pilates has all this in one class. 

Pilates is balance work and joint stabilising as well as strength building. 

Pilates is the rehab from your sportlife.

It is the stretching you know you should do, but don't. It is the focus on yourself that you need. 

I've used Pilates to rehab my own series of sports injuries from frozen shoulder and sciatica right down to plantar fasciitis.

I even started Capoeira at fifty and kept myself injury free.
