The STOTT PILATES® method is a contemporary approach based on the original exercise method developed by Joseph Pilates. Working alongside a team of physiotherapists, sports medicine specialists and fitness professionals, co-founders Moira and Lindsay G. Merrithew have spent decades refining both the method and its equipment.
By incorporating modern principles of exercise science and spinal rehabilitation, they have created a method that is particularly safe and effective. This clear and highly detailed approach forms the foundation of STOTT PILATES® training and certification programmes.
The method is suitable for a wide range of people, including rehabilitation patients, pregnant women, athletes, celebrities and many others.
The main difference between STOTT PILATES® and other Pilates methods lies in its contemporary, scientifically informed approach. While traditional Pilates methods are based on Joseph Pilates’ original exercises, STOTT PILATES® incorporates current knowledge from exercise science, physiotherapy and sports medicine.
Particular attention is paid to correct body alignment, core stability and adapting each exercise to the individual.
The method also uses specialised equipment designed to make the exercises even safer and more effective. This combination makes STOTT PILATES® particularly suitable for rehabilitation, prevention and fitness – and for people with a wide range of individual needs.
