What is the difference between using the Pilates equipment and Matwork?
The Pilates Matwork is actually the most difficult part of the method, because you have to do all the work to stabilize and support your body. The Pilates equipment, Reformer, Cadillac, Chairs, & Barrels, place the body in a non-weight bearing position, taking stress and pressure off your joints while strengthening and stretching the body. The equipment has spring tension which works similarly to a muscle contraction helping the body understand how to move correctly and efficiently.
