The Pilates method is being introduced more and more in Physiotherapy treatments such as therapeutic Pilates, as well as hypopressive abdominal-postural exercises. With this subject we intend to offer the student the bases of both methods. The Pilates method is an ideal neuromotor reeducation tool that, based on body stretching and muscle strengthening exercises, in a depressed situation, is useful to correct static and dynamic imbalances, respecting body physiology. In the same way, hypopressive abdomino-postural reeducation is very useful to reeducate the abdominal girdle without putting pressure on the perineal structures. Both methods are very useful for physical therapists.
