The present study aims to emphasize the role of pilates method in the improvement of the mobility of the spine in theanterior plane and the elasticity of the posterior muscles of the thigh. In this purpose, we have developed a set of appropriateexercises destined to obtain improved results of the spine mobility and muscle elasticity. Subsequent, we applied the exercises to atarget group of woman and presented the comparation between the initial and final results. The interpretation of the mobility andelasticity test results are reported in the conclusions of the present study.
