It's just an exercise system, in the same way that yoga is. Suppose to be very gentle on the body, and very good for improving posture, helping bits of you recover after accidents, and strengthen you in such a way that you're less likely to incur damage in the future.
How much of this is sensible scientific theory and how much is new-age wank I'm not sure. I'll report results after I've been to a few more classes :)
(And re hand-washing - it seems that against all probablity it's pronounced "Pe-la-tees". Someone's surname, I think.)
