Especially low back pain affects the quality of daily life in a very bad way. In order to avoid spinal problems, it is very important to do protective exercises first. If the person has a spinal problem, appropriate physical activities reduce the level of pain and the risk of loss of function.
Pilates is also very important for eliminating mechanical problems such as muscle imbalance, weakness in the waist and abdominal muscles, pelvic instability, posture disorders, misuse of the body, which is one of the most important causes of low back pain.
It reduces the possibility of spinal problems, especially with controlled exercise techniques such as pilates. With the help of Pilates, the deep muscles in the trunk area close to the spine are activated in a way that does not harm the spine. Strong trunk muscles hold the problem area and significantly reduce the amount of load on it.
Many problems can occur on the spine. The main causes of these problems are mechanical problems, traumas and injuries, and various diseases that occur when the spine goes out of its natural position. The exercise prescription for each spine problem also differs. For this reason, it is very important to first determine the problem in the spine and to organize an appropriate exercise.
