Is it true that Pilates improves postural alignment in adults?
Unclear. Several small studies and reviews report that Pilates improves postural alignment or posture in specific groups, such as healthy adults, middle-aged women, and people with postural disorders, but the evidence is limited and low-certainty, and some items measure balance rather than alignment. No single source settles the general claim for all adults.
