Did you know that Pilates exercises can work miracles just the same as Joseph Pilates’ students view him as a Miracle Man who could fix all their pains?
According to John Howard Steel, author of Cage Lion, who took classes with Joe in the 60s, “Some people, dancers mostly, knew him as a savior—the person who kept them dancing, or stopped their back pain, or put a zip in their step, or some other career-enhancing or enabling therapy.
As we practice and teach others, trust that when the method is done right, Pilates will return you back to life.
He helped professional golfers eliminate pain in their swing; he helped hairdressers and barbers work pain-free all day with their arms raised. He improved the singers’ breath control. As the person who worked his obscure magic to solve a physical problem that oftentimes doctors, chiropractors, or massage therapists couldn’t, he was a medicine man. Someone who worked miracles.”
