The Stott Pilates Method adapts the original fundamentals created by Joseph Pilates to contemporary exercise science. This method focuses more heavily on posture, muscular imbalances, and healthy movement mechanics than typical Pilates. Although Pilates instructors are not qualified to rehabilitate severe injuries or musculoskeletal conditions given they are not licensed Physical Therapists, the Stott Method allows them to better support the needs of clients who face challenges with their body’s movement mechanics.
