Contrology is a system of physical exercise developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century. It focuses on strengthening the core muscles, improving flexibility, and promoting overall body awareness. The method emphasizes controlled movements and proper alignment, aiming to enhance physical performance and prevent injuries. The practice of Contrology incorporates various equipment, such as the Reformer and Cadillac, which assist in performing exercises with resistance. This approach not only targets physical fitness but also encourages mental concentration and mindfulness, making it a holistic method for improving health and well-being.
