There are two basic forms of Pilates.
Mat based Pilates – which consists of a series of exercises performed on the floor using gravity and your own body weight to provide resistance. The aim is to condition the deeper, supporting muscles of your body to improve posture, balance and coordination.
Equipment based Pilates –includes weights (such as dumbbells) which create resistance to the muscles. Other benefits include improved posture, rehabilitation or prevention of injuries related to muscle imbalances, increased lung capacity, improved concentration, improved body awareness and stress management.
Addiction Rehab Toronto is passionate about using holistic measures in healing instead of or in combination to medical approaches. Our goal is to provide various coping strategies for our clients to utilize when they encounter difficulty in their lives rather than substance use.
