Is Pilates exercise beneficial for people with back issues?
Yes, after receiving an okay from your Physician, Pilates can be an excellent form of rehabilitation after experiencing back pain. The Pilates method of exercise teaches the client to isolate the prime stabilizers of the body and to recruit them when necessary as well as proper postural alignment. Overtime strength is built and confidence regained in ones movement. Pilates exercises focus on the whole body not just the injured area. Pilates exercise re-educates the way we move and creates optimal muscle firing patterns, reducing the potential for re-injury.
