What Is Pilates?
Pilates is a low-impact and full-body exercise created by Joseph Pilates and first called “Contrology.” The technique seeks to control the body’s muscles, strengthening the musculature, improving its tone, and giving greater flexibility. It’s also known for improving body contouring, building more strength, adjusting posture, and improving the muscles in the center of the body.
Today, some doctors consider it a form of therapy, as it is an individualized exercise. Because of it, Pilates can be complementary to Physiotherapy and other Rehabilitation Services.

Benefits of Pilates Therapy
Increase Flexibility
Pilates aims to safely increase your muscles’ length and stretch the range of motion within your joints. And you can witness results in only eight weeks, as has been described by the Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness.
Ease Aches & Pains
Pilates adds support to the core and can help you relieve chronic back pain, especially in the lower back. A routine of exercise can even help to prevent future injuries.
Grow Stronger
Pilates helps build toned muscles and functional fitness to your circumstances using your body weight. By combining stretching with strength, Pilates will give you not only a rock-solid core but a healthy body.
Improve Posture And Core Strength
Since Pilates works with the whole body, it reflects positively on your posture and alignment, especially by strengthening your body core. This way, it strengthens the back, abdomen, and pelvic floor, and many practitioners do it to avoid back pain.
Increase Energy And Promote Weight Loss
Pilates increases circulation and breathing as well as stimulates the spine and muscles. It makes your body healthier, with more energy, and makes your muscles stronger to perform aerobic activities. Besides increasing your body and mind connection, Pilates is also adaptable to many fitness levels, needs, and ages.

I discovered Dr John Igbiki last summer and he treated me for accident trauma, whiplash, back and hip pain. Sciatica joint out of place. Through physio, Chiro, acupuncture, massage I went into recovery. I strongly recommend this clinic situated in 20-217 Hawks brow Dr NW Calgary.

I was so impressed on my first appointment the doctor was very friendly and so informative! I have been to quite a few physiotherapist office’s this office is by far the very best and I have no doubt in my mind they can help everyone I look forward to feeling better thank you for everything!
Amy Jensen
So so happy!! I suffered with a leg injury for 6 months hoping it would get better on its own, but of course it didn’t. I wish I’d come to physio here sooner!! Now, just a few weeks after my first visit, I did a full hike up a mountain which I never could have done even 6 weeks ago. Thank you Dr Igbiki!!
DJ Toxic
When I first got injured, the most painful thing I could've done was putting my socks on and walking. I remembered my first visit to this clinic, I was in so much pain I cried. After I got done with first session I was able to walk out on my own. I highly highly recommend this clinic.
Barry
Leah is the light in that office! Although wearing a mask you can see her smile and very friendly as well. John is a life saver! He put alot of time in making sure that I'm me again. Thank you John. If anyone is looking for a good physiotherapist, look no further this is it.
