                                            It’s Back Care Awareness Week 💛
Your spine is an absolute masterpiece of form and function, so let’s look after it ! 🌿
A study by Rodriguez et al. in 2022 found that Pilates had the highest likelihood of reducing both pain (93%) and disability (98%) in people with chronic lower back pain - outperforming every other exercise intervention studied.
The secret? Strengthening deep postural muscles, improving spinal mobility, and building lasting core stability. For best results - consistency is key, which is why I always suggest mat-based exercises for clients to practice at home in between lessons.
