There he helped soldiers who were confined to bed by attaching springs above their beds allowing the soldiers to strengthen their arms and legs. The method was then developed further and the main focus became on core strength.<\/p>\n<div><strong><em>What are core muscles?<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>They are muscles that support and stabilize our spine and joints. In the lower back, for example, these muscles act like a corset, supporting the spine. When these muscles are weak, they fail to do their job properly. In that case, any load from daily activities (e.g. lifting) will go through the spine and joints, leading to pain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><strong><em>Why is Clinical Pilates at Health Point Physiotherapy so special?<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>Unlike mainstream Pilates, conducted by Pilates instructors, Health Point Physiotherapy uses Clinical Pilates.
