Pilates stretches the spine and limbs

Pilates and dance teachers often tell students to "lengthen the spine" and "grow taller." Can adults "grow taller" like this? It can! The study showed that with simple verbal instructions, participants could actually extend the spine and reduce compression between the vertebrae. There are two key positions that can help you "grow taller". First, increase the distance between the pelvis and ribcage. Also, pull the head away from the direction of the tail keel. When you learn to "grow taller", learn to maintain that height. Pilates are all about awakening those muscles that maintain the seated position.

As for extending the limbs, it helps to strengthen the muscles of the limbs. Pay attention to the alignment of the limbs, do not lock the elbow and knee joints.
