The Studio Pilates FAQ's Certification Specials Contact

Are you a budding Pilates instructor, or a sheepish Pilates novice? Do you tell people at cocktail parties that Pilates strengthens the transversus abdominus, or do you still think the word "Pilates" has something to do with that Pontius guy? No matter how much you know, we're glad you're here. Matthew Comer Pilates is THE home of STOTT PILATES® instruction and certification in Florida, which means that our experts can train you, no matter how much you know. For the prospective instructor, we offer STOTT PILATES® certification (the only in Florida) with 100% licensed certification and 0% attitude. For our private and group students, we offer intensive, hands-on instruction no matter what your skill level.
What is the difference between STOTT PILATES* and other Pilates techniques?
Unlike the original series of exercises, STOTT PILATES incorporates modern exercise principles, including contemporary thinking about spinal rehabilitation and performance enhancement. For example, unlike the original approach, which promotes a flat back, STOTT PILATES exercises are designed to restore the natural curves of the spine and rebalance the muscles around the joints. They also place more emphasis on scapular stabilization. As well, there are more preparatory exercises and modifications to make the method safer and more effective.
