Low Back Pain
One of the reasons for low back pain is due to weak abdominal (core muscles). This results in the back muscles working overtime and harder than they should. Pilates aims to bring the abdominals and back muscles into balance alleviating and preventing back pain. Also when the core muscles are balanced and strong, the rest of the body can move more freely because it doesn’t have to compensate for weak abdominals.
Pilates gives:
- Increased body tone and a longer, leaner look
- No muscle bulk
- Improved balance and flexibility
- Heightened body awareness
- Reduced stress and increased energy
- Improved digestion
- Better circulation
- Enhanced immune system
- A general sense of wellbeing
- An improved sex life
Improving Health
Pilates does not only work on the muscular system of the body, but has a more of a holistic effect on the body.
