How To Save Your Lower Back

Does your back frequently feel painful or weak? Do you feel nervous about moving or doing certain activities in case your back ‘goes’? Have you altered your activity levels because of back pain? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then it’s time to consider Pilates to help you regain control.

At Breathe, we see many clients with back pain. Commonly the clients we see present with similar dysfunctions in movement and similar weaknesses throughout their bodies. Certain parts of the back, hip, and pelvis might be stiff or restricted, which might then have the knock-on effect of another part of the body moving in an abnormal way. 

Clinical Pilates works to address these movement dysfunctions by retraining movement patterns and improving strength and control of the spine in all directions. Pilates specifically for back pain isn’t just about strengthening the core muscle. Rather, it is about addressing these movement dysfunctions in a way that improves function.
