Episode notes
Back Pain Is Multi-Factorial
- Back pain often arises from posture, muscle imbalances, pelvic instability, and lack of body awareness rather than a single cause.
- Pilates targets these multiple underlying contributors by building core strength and improving alignment.
Pilates Focuses On The Center
- Pilates emphasizes working from the center to improve core support and pelvic stability.
- Improved core and pelvis control helps balance muscle effort and reduce back strain over time.
Tight Can Mean Weak
- Poor posture (forward head, rounded upper spine, tucked pelvis) makes some muscles overwork and others overstretch and weaken.
- Muscles can feel tight yet actually be weak because they are chronically overstretched and compensating.
