The REAL Story Behind Pilates & Joseph Pilates

[@OnlinePilatesClasses]

Did you expect that the founder of Pilates was a guy?

[@JosephKelly-uj1zo]

I train muay thai in Thailand and developed sciatica so bad I couldn't walk so took ten privates and, OMG, I became a convert. Helped me heal and now I do MT twice a week and pilates twice and love both. 57 so helps me keep going!

[@OnlinePilatesClasses]

Yass! So excited for you! Joseph Pilates was a boxer so a lot of his work was support boxers. I know not the same as Muay Thai but there are definitely exercises that will support what you love. Glad you're doing Pilates regularly!

Well done for pronouncing Mönchengladbach! You would think that town would make more of one of its most famous citizens.

[@OnlinePilatesClasses]

yeah not sure they even knew him. He grew up very poor and then traveled in the circus. xx~LL

Can someone with back issues use Pilates as a remedy

[@OnlinePilatesClasses]

Sure! Depends on the the issue. You may want to do a private session or sessions before jumping into a class.

[@mirandalamora474]

I have a very very physical job and I use Pilates to strengthen muscles that I don’t use at my job. That has helped me with my “joint” pain. It’s muscle weakness- your body collapses on the joints when the muscles aren’t doing their thing. My core strength nearly fully corrected my back pain (of course not 100% but significantly better). Muscle usage is never a bad thing.

[@mirandalamora474]

I also do mat Pilates at home and go at my own pace. If anything is truly painful or wrong, stop that exercise immediately.

[@Truth.419]

I’m figuring some occultism was discovered. Was he Kabbalist or Thelema perhaps

[@OnlinePilatesClasses]

No religion was ever known of him nor did he discuss it with his clients.
