Back pain is common among people in many age groups, and it’s becoming more of an issue with people who work in offices and/or sit for many hours of the day. While it’s easy to blame the ligaments, bone structure, and muscles of the back itself, if back pain isn’t a result of an injury, the most common cause is actually a weak core.
At our Pilates studio, we focus on strengthening key muscle groups to help our clients live life to the fullest. Pilates is an excellent way to supplement a healthy lifestyle and workout plan, and we’re happy to welcome people of all ages to work out with us on a daily basis.
One area of the body which is a major focus in Pilates is the core. Most people think about six pack abs when they think about core work, but the benefits to a healthy core go beyond aesthetics. In this article, we will discuss how Pilates core training can help relieve back pain, and why our studio is an excellent place to start.
Reasons for Back Pain
While some people suffer from back pain due to an injury or medical condition, if your back pain seems to have come out of nowhere, weak core muscles can be to blame. When you have a weak core, your back muscles have to put in more work to correct your posture, especially if you’re seated often. Weak core muscles lead to slouching, and if you’re seated at a desk all day or regularly looking down at a screen, your back and neck pain will get worse as your back carries more weight.
How Core Strength Helps
When your core muscles are stronger and your body is more flexible, your posture naturally will improve and your core can handle the weight of your body more properly. Training your abs, obliques, and inner core muscles is the best way to help ease your back pain, and Pilates is a perfect way to build these muscles while increasing flexibility. Paired together, these improvements can quickly alleviate back pain.
