Pilates (named Contrology by Joseph) was initially created for rehabilitation in the 1920s. Some of the first people aided by Pilates were soldiers returning from war and dancers such as Martha Graham and George Balanchine (to strengthen their bodies and heal their aches and pains). The core principles that Joseph Pilates based his work on were breathing, whole-body health and whole-body commitment (encompassing mind and body)
