Pilates helps with back pain.

admin — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 11:11:13 +0000

Over the years we have found that Pilates completed correctly can greatly help reduce back pain. Pilates was introduced in the early 20th century and is essentially encouraging the mind to take control of the muscles, aiding correct postural alignment and strength of the spinal column. Pilates is more concerned with the improvement of the body’s alignment by increasing length, flexibility and tone of muscle rather than building muscle density. The aim of Pilates is to gradually encourage the joining of mind and body by a series of daily exercises that develop core muscles within the body, particularly those surrounding the spinal column. Deep breathing techniques also encourage a healthy blood flow through the body aiding in the recovery of muscular or ligament damage. Specific movements taught in our Pilates lessons teach how to maintain constant control of the muscles, thereby eliminating many risks of back injuries resulting from sudden movements. 75% of our Pilates enquiries come to us with various forms of back pain, feel free to call for further information so our team can help you too.

This is an exercise system that is focused on building strength without bulk, improving flexibility and agility, and helping to prevent injury. It was developed in the 1920s by Joseph H. Pilates, who was a physical trainer and founder of The New York Pilates Studio®. It involves a series of controlled movements that engage both your body and mind. It was initially created for rehabilitation, but was later adopted by dancers and athletes and is now utilized by millions. The primary focus is on awareness of the spine, proper breathing, core strength and flexibility. The outcome of Pilates training is a balanced body which is strong and supple, flat stomach, balanced legs, and a strong back.
