What is Pilates?

Pilates is a holistic workout that combines whole-body training with flowing breathing. In particular, it serves to strengthen the deep muscles of the trunk through slow, precise exercises combined with breathing. Since Pilates focuses on controlled movement and the quality of the execution of the exercises plays a major role, it is important to perform the exercises with a professional trainer.

The trained physio team at the Schmerzklinik Basel works in various starting positions on the mat, with or without equipment, and provides you with optimal support.
