DOES PILATES HELP LOW BACK PAIN?

We get asked this question all the time by our clients! The research and our experience shows that the answer is YES!

A systematic review by Lin et al. in 2016 on the effects of Pilates on low back pain showed significant improvement in pain relief and function. Non-Pilates exercises that involved waist and torso movement produced similar effects but had to be performed for a cumulative 20 hours before effects were shown.

Ultimately, if you’ve had back pain for a while, whether intermittent or ongoing, movement is key to preventing stiffness and pain building up over time. A routine of general mobility and strengthening within pain limits is a great pain relieving and preventative measure.

In light of the current situation, many of us may be opting for a trip around NSW rather than an overseas flight over the holidays. Regardless of how far you travel, it is always important to stay mobile during and after prolonged periods of sitting. Being aware of posture while sitting is good, but moving consistently is key to preventing stiffness and pain. Try these easy stretches you can do while driving and stopping over!

TABLE STRETCH

1. Place your hands on a stable surface.
2. Stick your bottom out to bring your chest parallel to the ground and lower your hands so that they are in line with your shoulders.
3. Stay here for a couple breaths and breathe deeply into the base of your lungs.

FISHTAIL

1. Stay in your table stretch.
2. Try to keep your upper body as stable as possible as you turn your feet to one side.
3. Hold and breathe as above.
4. Turn your feet to the opposite side, hold and breathe.

INNER THIGH STRETCH

1. Place your foot on a stable surface perpendicular to your body.
2. If this is not already a stretch for you, you may reach down towards your ankle.
3. Hold for 20-30 seconds on each leg.

HAMSTRING STRETCH

1. Place your foot on a stable surface in front of you.
2. If this is not already a stretch for you, you may reach down towards your ankle and stick your bottom out.
3. Hold for 20-30 seconds on each leg.

NECK STRETCH #1

1. Cradle your head in your elbow and pull your ear to shoulder. Sit on your opposite hand to add pressure to the stretch.
2. Keep shoulders relaxed.
3. Hold for 20-30 seconds each side.

NECK STRETCH #2

1. Cradle your head in your elbow and pull your nose down to reach your armpit. Sit on your opposite hand to add pressure to the stretch.
2. Keep shoulders relaxed.
3. Hold for 20-30 seconds each side.

TRICEP STRETCH

1. Lift one arm up overhead and bend from the elbow.
2. Use the opposite hand to pull that elbow down towards the ground to stretch the back of the overhead arm.
3. Hold for 20-30 seconds each side.

POSTERIOR DELTOID STRETCH

1. Pull one arm across your body and hook it into position with the other arm.
2. Keep shoulders relaxed.
3. Hold for 20-30 seconds each side.

CORE SERIES 1/3

Do you know the different between your DEEP core and OUTER core?

This is something we teach on a daily basis with Pilates. Pilates is all about stabilising first before activating more powerful muscles. This is not to say that if you don’t activate your stabilising muscles correctly that you will be unstable, it is just a more optimal level of activation for Pilates.

Most of our clients come from a gym-based background where core exercises are thought of as sit ups or crunches and require a lot of power and effort to execute (I.e. using our “six pack” muscles). These muscles are more superficial and mainly lie on the front of the body. These muscles are associated with flexing or twisting the abdominal wall.

In Pilates, we focus on our deep core where the muscles are a lot smaller and movements to activate these muscles are much more functional. E.g. knee floats mimic leg movements we do when walking. These muscles are much deeper and wrap around from the front of the abdominal wall to the back. The movement of these muscles are associated with holding the trunk in a stable position while movement of the limbs occurs.
