Pilates for Back Care
Did you know that 80% or more of people will experience an episode of low back pain at some point in their life?
The best thing you can do when this happens is MOVE….the worst thing you can do is stop moving, this slows down the healing process and increases nerve sensitivity. (unless of course you’ve been advised by a medical professional to stop!)
Back pain can be complex and rehab will likely be different for everyone. Thus said, a general movement approach can make a huge difference to rehab when experiencing an episode of low back pain. Simply working on improving hip & thoracic mobility as well as core stability, being key to this.
Everyone should routinely work on these anyway but these are my go to exercises to help ease non-specific low back pain. Incorporate these into your daily routine to keep the tissue nice and mobile and ease away tightness and tension (and ultimately pain!).
Let me know how you get on!
