How Mat Pilates Prevents, Reduces & Eliminates Back Pain.

    - By activating and strengthening deep inner core muscles
    - By improving strength and stability of your spine
    - By better supporting your body when bending or twisting
    - By improving posture, balance, coordination and flexibility.

What is Core Strength & How Does it Help You?

Our back and abdominal muscles work together to support our spine when we move, sit, stand, bend over, lift/push/pull/rotate with or without load, swing a golf club, vacuum, garden - ie any physical activity.  So in other words our core muscles help provide stability, strength and balance.

Weak core muscles leave you susceptible to poor posture, lower back pain and muscle injuries.

Strong core muscles protect organs, and support and stabilise the spine and pelvis.

Your core muscles are those deep within your abs and back.  The four main muscles are;
    - pelvic floor muscles
   - transverse abdominus (TA) (this is the deepest abdominal muscle, often known as the 'internal corset' as it wraps around the body starting and finishing at the spine)
    - multifidus (spine)
    - diaphragm (breathing)

These muscles contribute to local stability and importantly control spinal position.  The optimal spinal position is referred to as 'neutral spine'  where the natural curve of the back is present - this places our bodies in the best position to move, sit, walk/run, push/pull/lift/rotate etc.
