Understanding Polestar Pilates

Polestar Pilates is an evolution of traditional Pilates, integrating modern science and rehabilitation techniques. Founded by Brent Anderson, Polestar Pilates focuses on improving movement patterns, enhancing body awareness, and promoting overall well-being. It’s a fantastic complement to physiotherapy-led Pilates, particularly for women over 40.


Holistic Approach

Polestar Pilates embraces a holistic approach, addressing physical, mental, and emotional health. It emphasises quality of movement rather than quantity, ensuring that each exercise is performed with precision and mindfulness. This approach aligns perfectly with the principles of physiotherapy-led Pilates, making it ideal for those with mobility issues or chronic pain.


Tailored to Your Needs

Polestar Pilates practitioners are trained to assess individual needs and tailor exercises accordingly. This personalised approach is beneficial for women over 40, as it considers unique health challenges such as arthritis, osteoporosis, and back pain. Combined with physiotherapy, it ensures a comprehensive, safe, and effective workout.


Research-Backed Benefits

Studies have shown that Polestar Pilates can significantly improve physical function, reduce pain, and enhance quality of life. Research in the Journal of Physical Therapy Science found that participants experienced improved balance, flexibility, and core strength after a Polestar Pilates program.


Building Strength and Flexibility

Polestar Pilates helps build strength and flexibility without putting undue stress on the joints. This is particularly beneficial for women dealing with arthritis or joint pain. The exercises are designed to support and stabilise the body, enhancing overall movement and reducing discomfort.


Mental and Emotional Well-being

In addition to physical benefits, Polestar Pilates promotes mental and emotional well-being. The emphasis on mindful movement and breath control helps reduce stress, improve focus, and enhance overall mood. This holistic approach ensures that you feel balanced and centred, both physically and mentally.



Next, we’ll explore the Franklin Method and how it integrates with Pilates to enhance body awareness and movement efficiency.
