Pilates FOR HEALTH
Women's Fitness UK
|November 2025
More than a trending activity that improves core strength, Pilates goes beyond the mat to help with the management of certain health conditions
-
If 2025 was an activity it would be Pilates. A quick search of the WF inbox reveals that we've received nearly 900 emails relating to Pilates since December 30, 2024 - new studios, new apparel lines, and new insight into the benefits of this 'moving meditation'. Indeed, one piece of data from confused.com reveals that one-in-10 people think that Pilates has a positive effect on their wellbeing. But if you delve deeper into the health benefits of Pilates, it quickly becomes apparent that the focus on body awareness and balance can help support many chronic conditions, including multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, ataxia, stroke and cerebral palsy.
