Joseph Pilates revolutionised the world of exercise with his system of mind and body conditioning, known as “Contrology.” His approach incorporated bodyweight exercises on a mat and exercises performed on various specially designed equipment. Each piece of equipment in the Pilates system has a unique role in re-educating the body and achieving different objectives.
