Does Pilates help back injuries?
Because Pilates strengthens the deep support muscles of the spine, it is often therapeutic for back pain. However, if you have current pain, have been recently injured or have a recurrent condition, you must obtain documentation from your practitioner (physiotherapist, physician or chiropractor) prior to participating in a Pilates program. Note: If you are pregnant, you should not begin any new type of exercise program without your doctor’s consent.
