Can Pilates at Orthopaedic Team Rehabilitation Help My Back Pain?
Pilates can benefit people with lower back pain by enhancing the core muscles that stabilize the back, correcting posture and alignment, and promoting flexibility and mobility. However, some pilates exercises may not be suitable for back pain, and may even aggravate it. That’s why it’s safest to work with a certified Pilates instructor who is also a licensed physical therapist.
Pelvic tilt, pelvic curl, chest lift, spine stretch, and swimming are some of the Pilates exercises that are often advised for back pain. These exercises can help to elongate and decompress the spine, engage the deep abdominal muscles, and ease tension and stiffness in the back.
Your Orthopaedic Team Rehabilitation physical therapist can customize and modify Pilates exercises to your condition. You can learn more about how Pilates may be incorporated into your plan of care by booking your Initial Visit today.
