News & Events
Why triathletes are turning to STOTT PILATES® training
As pillarPERFORMANCE owner Colleen Naus puts it, there is a hierarchy to optimal movement: “If there is lack of mobility in the body, it cannot find stability and therefore cannot gain strength. If the client doesn’t have mobility, their power is going to get locked up.
