Pfilates is a program of neuromuscular conditioning based on extensive EMG recordings taken from the pelvic floor.
Pfilates was created by an American Urogynecologist to provide a method of home pelvic floor fitness training accessible to a broad population.
The Pfilates program is a simple program consisting of ten movements presented in the same order in three different phases (beginning, intermediate, and advanced).
Each of the Pfilates movements includes a series of repetitions followed by a hold phase and a pulse phase at the point of peak engagement of the pelvic floor.
As such these movements encourage the development of the three essential elements of neuromuscular performance: strength, endurance, and coordination.
