This has been tha single most helpful thing for my severe back problems. My lack of core muscle strength probably CAUSED them to begin with and strengthening them has been miraculous in relieving pain soreness and stiffness. And its surprising how long that core strenght stays with you. I hurt my shoulder needing surgery and couldnt do pilates for over a year and my back only started to hurt again after about 14 months. Cant wait to start again!

Pilates keeps my muscles strong, so that when the rest of me fails, I have something to keep me standing up.

Three times per week two in a class and one on my own at home. Its tough and I have to be VERY careful not to overdo but the benefits are wonderful!!

I do pilates once a week when i can and this also makes a big difference to my pain and stiffness
