Almost anyone can do Pilates. There are multiple forms of Pilates including Mat Pilates, Reformer Classes and Clinical/Studio Pilates which can cater for any body type, gender or age. In particular, the Clinical version of Pilates has machines that can assist many movements, therefore taking away a lot of the strain associated with jarring exercises and body weight type movements. Pilates is incredibly versatile, with it being widely used in the rehabilitation setting by many rehab qualified health practitioners, by professional sporting clubs getting the most out of their athletes, by private studios all over the world and even facilities for senior citizens to keep them mobile.
