The principles of Pilates can be applied to all kinds of pain.
Pain and especially chronic pain often lead to fear of movement. Carefully selected exercises on the Reformer are safe and effective to promote movement and reduce fear of moving.
The joints, muscles and nerves within the body all work together to provide stability and control to your spine’s movement. Any disruption to any of those elements and it will affect the others leading to pain (Panjabi’s stability model).
Why Pilates can help with Pain ?
- Pilates can provide joint stability through building muscular strength.
- Pilates breathing encourages the activation of our muscles and reduces anxiety and emotional distress
- Integrating the breath with the movement enhances our Mind-Body connection.
How WE can help YOU
Pain produces a different emotional response to each individual, and their ability to cope or adapt to the pain experience will also differ.
Reformer Pilates allows an individualised prescription of exercise for pain relief.
Identifying the precise cause of pain can be challenging but assessing you as a whole can help us understand your biggest needs. For example, do you need stability or mobility more?
Through 1:1 sessions we can create tailored Reformer Pilates plans according to your needs and your pain.
