Menezes Method
The Menezes Method of Pilates is vastly different to other styles of Pilates taught elsewhere throughout the world. It is this difference that sets the Menezes Method apart from the current Pilates Method and gains results for back and other problems.
Lauren has good anatomical and athletic knowledge of the body due to her fitness background and therefore the Menezes technique based on muscle mechanics seemed to make sense of some of the more traditional Pilates exercises and makes it more accessible for all.
Menezes Pilates is based on the method originally developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 1920’s but with a difference. The Pilates Method is for:
- Those who have become discontent with the ‘gym scene’ and need a more focused program
- Those who require more specific guidance for their exercise programs
- Those recovering from injury and needing a more specific physical rehabilitation
- Those wishing to improve sports performance
- The elderly who require a gentle, yet effective, exercise regime
- Those requiring more stretching and strengthening of their musculature
- Those suffering from back pain and other joint or muscular problems
- Those requiring an injury prevention program
- Those wishing to reduce the mental and physical stress
Pilates works on so many levels and for all individuals from a remedial aspect through to a highly physical workout.
