Benefits for Dancers
Pilates is particularly beneficial for dancers to strengthen the inner abdominals, and create a streamlined body shape. Dancers will be able to lengthen the muscles and develop ultimate core control without bulking. Through developing the inner abdominal muscles, strain on the back is minimised and injuries are prevented.
Dancers recovering from injury can incorporate Pilates into their rehabilitation, due to the zero to low impact on the body’s joints and muscles. Muscles are strengthened through gentle resistance movement, either using the body’s natural resistance on the floor mat, or with the help of the apparatus.
The long hours, sore feet and the strain placed on the body from continuous working of the joints and muscles can take its toll. This continuous strain on the body can be very draining and even cause injury to many dancers. This is why Pilates has always been so essential to the rehabilitation and avoidance of injury.
