It’s not surprising that around 90% of us will suffer from back pain at some point.
Our increasingly sedentary lifestyles predispose us to back problems. More than ever, we’re sitting: at desks, in front of computers, in our cars and watching tv, and for more and more hours of the day.
Pilates strengthens the core, a corset-like group of muscles that stabilize the trunk and pelvis much like a weightlifter’s belt. Equally important, Pilates increases awareness for proper posture and healthy body mechanics. When we stand or sit with a tall spine, we create space between the vertebral discs, relieving pressure. These two actions, pulling in the abdominal muscles and lengthening the spine work in tandem to create a stronger, more supple back.
A single Pilates workout can sometimes improve back pain in the same way that a massage can bring relief to tight muscles. But for more lasting results and to prevent future flare-ups, it is recommended to get in two or three Pilates workouts per week. Give yourself at least four to six weeks to feel the results.
