Pilates is a physical routine that stresses slow, controlled movements in order to improve physical fitness. Evidence also supports Pilates as a tool for relieving low back pain as well as a method for improving balance, posture, stamina, and breathing technique. At RX Physical Therapy, we utilize Pilates as a form of rehabilitation and therapeutic exercise. If you’re suffering from low back pain, combining Physical Therapy and Pilates may benefit you by improving core strength and hip flexibility.
