Many back problems are the result of poor posture or sitting incorrectly. Over time, as our abdominal and back muscles weaken, this can cause back pain. But I’m sure you’ll be happy to know that Pilates can help you regain the muscle strength you need to be pain free.

Pilates is a form of exercise that focuses on the core muscles of the abdomen and back. These muscles help keep the body balanced and strong. It’s a method that teaches correct breathing methods and alignment of the spine.

Although Pilates is a simple exercise program, you should not underestimate what it can do for your body when practiced on a regular basis.

For people with severe back problems it would be wise to have a session with a Pilate’s instructor to learn the correct form before beginning a Pilates exercise program. This will help you see where your weaknesses are what you need to work on. It will be more expensive to work with an instructor than doing home videos, but will be worth it in the long run.
