STOTT PILATES is a contemporary, anatomically-based approach to Joseph Pilates’original exercise method, co-founded by Moira and Lindsay Merrithew. Along with a team of physical therapists, sports medicine and fitness professionals, they have spent more than two decades refining the STOTT PILATES method of exercise and equipment. This resulted in the inclusion of modern principles of exercise science and rehabilitation principles, eliminating contraindicated movements while emphasizing neutral alignment, core stability and peripheral mobility, making it one of the safest and effective methods available. By using current medical research and by drawing on up to date knowledge of physiotherapists and sports medicine professionals, STOTT PILATES continues to evolve its method with new findings, providing a very safe and effective way to practice Pilates while at the same time maintaining the integrity of the original method. The STOTTPILATES repertoire consists of more than 500 systematic mat and equipment-based mind-body exercises. It involves balancing preparatory, essential, intermediate and advanced level exercises, creating uniquely effective workout formats.
