WHAT IS fletcher TOWEL WORK

and what are its BENEFITS

fletcher towelwork® is a signature feature of the fletcher work®. ron fletcher was one of joseph pilates' original students, and is largely responsible for popularising what pilates called 'body contrology'.

ron developed the full syllabus of towel exercises over several decades of working with his students and teachers. fletcher towelwork® was a direct response to the need for understanding of shoulder girdle stabilization and arm movement.

the towelwork is one of the best tools to teach the pilates movement principles in standing. it assists with:

balancing and organizing the shoulder girdle from the back
improve thoracic mobility, extension and stabilization
correcting forward-head posture
correcting rib placement in relation to pelvis
stabilizing the shoulder girdle to initiate spinal movement from the trunk
teaching the concept of oppositional energy in standing and through movement

"as a heavy rainstorm freshens the water of a sluggish or stagnant stream and whips it into immediate action, so does the pilates method purify the bloodstream."Joseph Pilates
