Back pain is a common problem, especially for people who sit a lot or experience stress. Reformer Pilates can help address the underlying cause.
In many cases back problems are caused by:
-
Weak core muscles
-
Bad posture
-
Muscle imbalance
-
Too little exercise
Reformer Pilates strengthens the deep core muscles that support your spine. The controlled movements provide stability without impact.
Because you're working on a sliding platform, movements are performed smoothly. This reduces pressure on the lower back. Furthermore, you train at a leisurely pace, which helps you move more consciously.
Reformer Pilates can offer support for mild complaints. For severe or chronic complaints, it's always wise to consult a doctor or physiotherapist.
In Den Bosch we see that many people use Reformer Pilates as a supplement to their recovery or as preventive training.
