About the Business
At JUMP Physio Manchester, Pilates exercises are used to complement our soft tissue work and to help improve posture, flexibility and control. The benefits of these improvements on sporting performance are obvious, but we also found that Pilates helped people who weren't trying to run marathons, swim lakes or cycle mountains but who simply wanted to move without pain. These findings are backed up by research that shows that deep abdominal exercises similar to those used in Pilates can help decrease back pain.
Pilates is a system of exercise devised and named after Joseph Pilates. Pilates exercises were used by dancers in the United States in the 1960's to maintain flexibility and improve muscle tone and strength. As well as improving performance it was observed that Pilates helped to reduce the dancer's risk of injury and so became a fundamental part of their training.
