Pilates began developing his exercise system in Germany in the early twentieth century. Suffering from asthma and rickets in children, the method came with the idea to strengthen your body weak and sickly. He called it 'the art of Contrology', or muscle control. Imprisoned during the First World War, took the opportunity to teach his method to his fellow prisoners, who managed to overcome the deadly influenza epidemic of 1918 without any problems. During the last years of the war, Pilates served as an orderly in a hospital in the Isle of Man, where he began working with non-ambulatory patients. Installed springs on the beds so they could support their shattered limbs while doing the exercises, and doctors were quick to warn that his rehabilitation was much faster. These exercises with springs became the base unit would design paracticar later for the method. However, the original system of Joseph Pilates mat work, and its effectiveness is identical to that performed with the apparatus.
