STOTT PILATES®
STOTT PILATES® offers a contemporary interpretation of the original exercise method developed by Joseph Pilates. Over the course of three decades, co-founders Lindsay G. Merrithew and Moira Merrithew, alongside a team of physical therapists, sports medicine professionals, and fitness experts, have refined the STOTT PILATES® approach. This refinement process involved incorporating modern exercise science principles, fascial fitness, and spinal rehabilitation, resulting in a method that is both highly safe and effective. The comprehensive and detailed nature of this approach serves as the foundation for STOTT PILATES® training and Certification programs. STOTT PILATES® is utilized by a wide range of individuals, including those in rehabilitation, post-rehabilitation, prenatal care, athletes, celebrities, and individuals from all walks of life.
STOTT PILATES® exercises are designed to help people of all genders and ages enhance their strength, flexibility, endurance, and posture, without adding bulk or placing excessive stress on joints. Whether as a complementary practice to cardiovascular exercise, athletic training, or rehabilitation, STOTT PILATES® can assist in toning the body, rejuvenating the mind, and improving the overall ease of movement.
MAP MOVEMENT®
The existing model of movement and training is based on the theory of muscle isolation, which leads to static and rigid muscle and movement. However, with our current understanding, we recognise that movement occurs in fascial planes. As a result, it becomes necessary to re-educate movement patterns and redefine the core.
MAP Movement® bridges the gap between our current understanding of movement and our desired movement capabilities. It encourages us to transition from a defensive stance to a position of power, allowing us to move in alignment with nature’s intentions. The focus lies on movement itself, rather than manual therapy techniques. We concentrate on generating movement along various fascial lines, incorporating breathing techniques, and understanding the interconnections between them all.

TESTIMONIALS
I joined Core Concepts Pilates & Rehabilitation Inc. at 8 weeks pregnant, I was at the peak of my fitness career when I fell pregnant and knew if I ever wanted to return to it, Pilates would be part of my journey.
My core has never been as strong as it is now, one month postpartum, thanks to weekly classes and maintaining my fitness level!
I will never not do Pilates again, it changed the way I think about fitness , it’s now part of my routine and I love it.
Definitely the most professional yet personal, warm and friendly experience. Highly qualified instructors put them a cut above the rest. Don’t forget Jan, the studio dog and fresh coffee when you arrive early enough
Core Concepts changed my life! I have more mobility and strength than ever before, even with my Osteoarthritis. Everyone at the studio is friendly, helpful, caring and extremely knowledgeable. Jana, Natasha and Desere have been absolutely amazing! Thank you to everyone at the Studio who makes it such a pleasure to exercise, you guys are the best!

Core Concepts “You are simply the Best”
Friendly, competent personnel. Online classes are winners (but nothing beats being there). Doing pilatus as family is greeeat
Core concepts changed my life. My body was broken and I became very depressed because of it. Thanks to their help and support I managed to get my body back in working shape and couldn’t be more thankful. Thanks guys!
I wholeheartedly recommend Core Concepts – especially for rehabilitation! I went to them for help with a long-term injury causing chronic pain, and they helped me work through my fear of movement and have significantly improved my quality of life. The therapists have such a wonderful combination of genuinely caring and being extremely competent and knowledgeable about physical therapy.
Masters of their craft! This is where you go to condition and strengthen your body for vitality and sustainable development. Focussed on individual needs and tailored for you.
My knee is doing much much better, and my core muscles are slowly strengthening.
MAP Movement Pilates ervaar ek baie positief. Ek het nou ‘home remedies’ om myself te kan help. Ek doen ‘n uur sessie 3x ‘n week: MAP het my baie van myself geleer.
I thoroughly enjoyed the MAP Movement class.
I’m loving these classes- really helped so much already with my back pain.
Great team of therapists & such an amazing space… love it!
