Staying active as we age is one of the most important things we can do for our health. For people over 60, movement helps maintain strength, flexibility, and independence. One of the most effective and accessible ways to achieve this is through Pilates. At Gosforth Physio & Wellness, our Newcastle Pilates classes are designed to support people of all ages, including those looking to stay strong and mobile later in life.
Improved Strength and Stability
Pilates focuses on controlled movements and building core strength. For over 60s, this can make a huge difference in improving balance and stability, reducing the risk of falls, and supporting everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs, or carrying shopping.
Gentle on the Joints
Unlike high-impact exercises, Pilates is low impact and gentle on the joints. This makes it an ideal form of exercise for people with arthritis, stiffness, or long-term aches and pains. By strengthening the muscles around the joints, Pilates can also help reduce discomfort and improve mobility.
Better Posture and Flexibility
Many people experience rounded shoulders or a stiff back as they get older. Pilates helps improve posture by strengthening the back and shoulder muscles, while stretching movements improve flexibility, making daily life more comfortable.
Boosting Mental Wellbeing
Staying active isn’t just about the body, it’s about the mind too. Pilates encourages focus and mindful movement, helping reduce stress and improve overall wellbeing. Joining a class can also provide a social boost, creating a supportive and friendly environment.
