Official Body Control Pilates Manual: The Ultimate Guide to the Pilates Method - For Fitness, Health, Sport and at Work

Pilates body conditioning is today's fitness buzzword, and following the storming success of Lynne Robinson and Gordon Thomson's original "Body Control: The Pilates Way", a variety of books have appeared - none as authoritative, practical, safe and geared towards solving your body's problems as this. 'How will Pilates help me?' is its keynote, so after explaining the fundamental Eight Principles through accessible, balanced core programmes come 'Pilates prescriptions' for your specific needs. With the growing support of many GPs, osteopaths and chiropractors, not to mention stars from screen, stage and sport, when you exercise with "Pilates Body Control", you're in excellent company. From back pains, posture problems to prevention of common sports injuries and training your children to use their bodies properly, this is the one-stop reference.

Leading Pilates specialist Lynne Robinson works with Gordon Thomson, one of Britain's pre-eminent Pilates teachers with over 3 decades' experience. Helge Fisher runs two Body Control studios in Brighton and Body Control Pilates Austria. Jacqueline Knox is their consultant physiotherapist, who incorporates Pilates into her treatment. The Body Control Pilates network of teachers offers training and accreditation. Besides two London studios it is introducing Pilates to David Lloyd Fitness Centres nationwide and establishing centres abroad.
