Another condition that has been shown to respond positively
to pilates is Multiple Sclerosis. Pilates can help by improving
the patient's flexibility and mobility through the practice of
controlled and focused movements. Individuals who have received
total hip or knee replacements may also greatly benefit from
pilates. Pilates can help restore the fluidity and flexibility
that is lost after hip or knee replacements. Parkinson's
Disease and Scoliosis are conditions that may also benefit from
regular pilates practice.
Yoga can play a substantial supporting role to modern
medicine, and complement other fitness and exercise programs.
While there is no great component of aerobic fitness in yoga
therapy, it complements aerobic exercise because of breathing
techniques that can be learned. So there are advantages for
even the most demanding of aerobic sports - swimming, cycling
and running. There are numerous documented cases of yoga
relieving or curing serious illnesses - such as Parkinson's
disease, multiple sclerosis, heart disease, and respiratory
illnesses like asthma and emphysema.
