3. From Corrective to Conditioning
Maria’s Structural Pilates Approach
This program guides clients through three phases: corrective, transition, and conditioning, ensuring comprehensive, long-lasting results.
Corrective Phase
Focuses on restoring alignment, relieving pain, and correcting muscle imbalances through targeted exercises that improve posture, mobility and flexibility.
Transition Phase
Bridges the gap between corrective work and conditioning. This phase enhances coordination, stability, and functional movement, preparing the body for more dynamic exercises.
Conditioning Phase
Strengthens and conditions the body by building core stability, muscular endurance, and overall fitness, boosting performance and preventing injury.
