Integrating multiple methods to create a personalized whole-body workout
STOTT PILATES®
CorSano Pilates uses STOTT PILATES as a key pillar of its training. The world’s most recognized name in Pilates. STOTT PILATES is a contemporary approach to the original method pioneered by the late Joseph Pilates.
The refined method incorporates modern principles of exercise science and spinal rehabilitation, fascial integration, muscle conditioning and athletic performance enhancement – making STOTT PILATES one of the most effective and safest Pilates methods available.
MELT Method®
CorSano Pilates integrates MELT techniques as part of a customized, holistic approach to Pilates-based training. The MELT Method is a unique self-treatment that reduces the effects of accumulated tension and stress caused by daily living, aging and high-demand, sports-specific training.
MELT strengthens the supportive qualities of the connective tissue and resets the nervous system to improve your body’s natural stability and resilience. You will feel the work in all the right places the day of your workout, and you’ll feel just as great the next day!
Restorative Exercise™
CorSano Pilates integrates Nutritious Movement Restorative Exercise techniques into your program to teach you how to adjust your alignment to restore joint function, ease pain and better target underconditioned areas of your body.
Based on the science of biomechanics, these exercises not only enhance how you perform exercises in the studio, but you will learn how to introduce more movement into your day for better health outcomes.
