'I started learning Pilates with Karin around 5 years ago which was a last resort to curing my lower back problem, having tried many conventional and alternative therapies. My back problem was occasionally so severe that I was unable to work for weeks at a time. Karin’s precise and detailed training, as well as that of other Pilates teachers in the studio, have enabled me to solve my back problem and I have not suffered loss of work since....' Jeremy Kaye, Financial Advisor full report

The aches and pains that many endure everyday until the body cries out load enough for you to hear...

 Aches and pains usually come after long periods of 'strain'. Where there is a strain pattern in the body (or mind),  from daily postural living habits or repetitive daily professional or sporting actions, the body will compensate to accomodate the job. However, eventually the 'strain' can get too much, often it is one push too many, one more stressful situation, an increased effort, exhaustion or just one day too many sitting in a compressed state at your desk, and the body finally cries out for our attention. It is no different from the tree in the wood that has been leaning over for years but, when one day the winds are that much stronger, it is the tree that will come down in the storm...

Listen to the very first body cries and you can be saved from the 'chaos' and destruction that a long tern strain pattern can cause in the body.

Relieving strain patterns can be alot easier than you think; it can be the 'take your foot off the ant' situation, where it is only you that is 'bearing down ' and compressing, creating the very discomfort that you are trying to relieve. Remove the pressure by bearing up and out instead of bearing down and in and the pain/discomfort can be instantly relieved....

When the whole team plays..

When only a few 'players' are playing to support the bodys moving architecture, there  is a lot of strain put onto only a few of the ‘team' members with the rest  sitting out watching on the bench. In the Tensegrity body nobody gets to sit on the bench! with all 'players' holding to their ‘tensional’ role and playing their part in any given movement, that movement is easy, its energy efficient, smooth and effortless, nobody gets too tired, nobody gets strained and nobody gets hurt. 

How the Contrology Studio Apparatus can help you.

The studio apparatus, developed by Joseph Pilates, is designed to support the body while the springs connect to the deepest inner musculature, enabling you to strengthen and develop uniformly. Working with the muscles over their longest range it creates  space in the body for stable but freely moving joints, building a healthy and appropriate ‘elasticity’ in the myofascial tissue.

 

Contrology integrates our 'whole' body, thus supporting the strain patterns created by imbalanced and repetitive single actions. It addresses the 'tensegrity' (tensional integrity) in the neuromyofascial web needed to maintain an equilibrium in the body.  A multitude of movements with a low number of repetitions are tailored to the individual; the precise instruction emphasizing the unity of each movement to achieve maximum, sustainable results. 

 

"A body freed from nervous tension and over-fatigue is the ideal shelter provider by nature for housing a well-balanced mind that is always fully capable of successfully meeting all of the complex problems of modern living" Joseph Pilates, Retrun to Life
