    Think about how you move through the day. Are you limited in certain tasks? Did you have to stop activites that were enjoyable because you don’t move the way you used to? Are you straining your neck while driving? Guarding your lower back, or shoulder when lifting, pushing, pulling or reaching?
    If your answer is yes, you are gradually becoming a prisoner of your body. With time, your flexibility, strength, balance,and coordination will continue to decrease, restricting your ability to perform your daily tasks and recreational activities.

    Why and What Happens?
    We develop faulty postures and movement patterns to get through our day, and the body then follows this path of least resistance. We continue along this path as long as it doesn’t hurt. And then it happens..we need to reach behind and the shoulder is stiff and painful; we stumble and fall going down a curb and fracture/sprain the ankle; we bend to pick up a piece of paper, and the back “goes out”. Forget about playing golf, tennis, basketball, dancing, etc..
    We live within a “comfort zone” which becomes smaller with time, and it limits our abilities,
    physically and mentally.

    What to Do
    Figure out what our muscle imbalances and areas of restriction are by performing specific exercises in a controlled manner moving us out of our “faulty” postures and patterns of movement. Work on strength, flexibility, coordination,and balance with every exercise. Learn new postures and movement patterns that will use all of the right muscles at the right time. Become aware of how you are moving through space.
    Contrology will teach you all of the above and more. Contrology is a physical-mental conditioning system developed by Joseph H. Pilates 90 years ago. Learn the system, use all of the apparatus. Random Pilates exercises on the mat and reformer should not be equated with Contrology.
    Experience the difference and your body will thank you.
