Should I do Pilates if I have a bad back?
Back pain can be caused by many things, including injury,
misalignment of the muscles, poor posture and hereditary traits.
Pilates
can help in many cases as it is concerned with activating
the core postural muscles (strengthening the deep abdominal
and spinal muscles) to bring your body back to it's correct
'neutral' alignment.
Because of the gentle and precise way in which exercises
are performed, Pilates is now endorsed by many medical specialsts
including physiotherapists, back specialists, osteopaths,
GP's and surgeons.
Of course there are instances where Pilates is not advisable,
but we will tell you this before you spend any money.
