What is Modern Pilates?
Classical Pilates was created by Joseph Pilates, whose method “Contrology” focused on precise, structured exercises for both rehabilitation and athletic conditioning. Over time, physiotherapists and movement specialists have evolved these exercises to reflect current clinical understanding of posture, biomechanics, and safe functional movement. Modern Pilates is adaptable, accessible, and suitable for all ages and levels of ability.
