The hectic and stressful lifestyle to which almost all of us are exposed nowadays causes aging and premature weakness of joints and bones. Moreover, due to insufficient movement and certain positions in which we spend our working hours (depending on the workplace) and repetitive actions, the body acts asymmetrically and various imbalances are created on the body. This is the primary cause of many injuries and problems that occur in relation to our spine, but also the body as a whole. Physical activity has long been recognized as an effective way to deal with stress and improve mental and physical health. In order to function properly during the performance of all tasks of the day, the body must be strong and healthy enough, and the person's locomotor system should work as a complete and firm system in order to be efficient. Inactivity results in weakness of certain muscle groups or the musculature as a whole, and such a condition can lead to permanent postural problems in the long run. If there are imbalances in a certain part of the body, the body itself will compensate it with greater involvement of another group of muscles, which disrupts the statics of the entire organism. Joseph Pilates, the man who invented the method, had an idea that his method should be practiced for the purpose of a healthier and at the same time better quality of life. Thus, he created the method precisely with this goal in mind. The Pilates method is non-aggressive, it does not cause fatigue and pain and contributes to a better psychophysical state of the body. Due to a great variety of programs and the possibility of adaptation to certain situations and conditions, the Pilates method is often practiced by top athletes, but it is also used for rehabilitative and corrective purposes and has proven to be an excellent way to solve various musculoskeletal problems.
