Does Pilates help cure back pain?

Due to the nature of this type of exercise, Pilates can effectively cure and prevent back pain. Pilates promotes spine mobility by treating each vertebra as an individual bone. Even a brief series of simple workouts and stretches, like attending pilates classes, performed on a regular basis can produce long-term results.

Is Pilates better than a regular workout?

Pilates training is ideal for novices or those recuperating from ailments due to its low-impact nature. Depending on a person’s needs and goals, Pilates can prove to be a better alternative than gym training especially if you want to target core strength and stability.

What is the difference between yoga and pilates?

While both forms of exercise are considered low-impact, the straightforward answer to this is that Yoga focuses on flexibility and tends to assume a position and keep in place or transition into another position. Pilates, on the other hand, requires you to maintain a position and then use your arms and legs to target core strength and stability. The latter also promotes relaxing tensed muscles.

Why is Pilates a better workout?

To some, the gym can be an intimidating place with all the complex equipment that greets you the moment you step into the gym floor. Comfortability is one huge factor in why a person fails to commit to a workout routine, so finding where you feel at home can be the first step to your fitness journey. Yoga is relatively a less intimidating exercise than hitting the gym, but it’s one that proves to not be for everyone as well.

But what a gym is to a fitness buff is a yoga mat to a yoga enthusiast. It is their safe space- their paradise.

It’s about time you find yours, and Pilates could be it for you.

Pilates being a better form of exercise isn’t about superiority, as it will all boil down to what it can do to you and your body. It is a low-impact, low-intensity form of exercise, thus the workout routines can be as gentle as you need them to be and are buildable as time passes. Pilates incorporates precise movements and breathing methods, as well as a series of repetitive motions that can be performed with equipment such as pilates rings, resistance bands, the reformer platform, and other similar items.

It is a holistic approach to a healthy and active lifestyle where the mind and body meet, creating harmony.

Why would you need Pilates in Kensington?

Anyone who wants to develop a consistent, engaging, and enjoyable workout routine is welcome to try Pilates.

It has a lot of benefits that bear fruits with every session that you take.

Pilates is safe to do on a daily basis and you’d be surprised at how quickly you’ll find yourself adjusting to incorporating this routine into your everyday life.

Below are some specific scenarios where Pilates students greatly benefit from this form of exercise. If you find yourself in a similar situation, then consider it a sign to get your Pilates journey started.

Reduce and prevent body pain

Is there an ache on your back that simply just won’t go away? If you want to try a natural remedy and possible long-term prevention and cure for it, then definitely try Pilates.

The body adapts fast to new habits, which might be problematic in the long run. Countering this with exercise can prove to become a way to ease into a healthier lifestyle.

Pre and post-natal Pilates

Baby on the way? Don’t worry as Pilates is also safe to do while you’re pregnant. Prenatal Pilates focuses on strengthening your pelvic floor muscles, which helps you achieve the main goal of this training regimen, which is to condition your deeper muscles to improve balance, posture, and strength.

It can even aid in a smoother delivery and a routine that you can stick with even after giving birth.

Mental benefits

It is also advisable for those people who want to relieve stress and anxiety as Pilates encourages the use of its own breathing techniques and can be a healthy distraction.

Exercise flexibility

Those who also struggle with flexibility and therefore cannot practice yoga can discover that doing Pilates is a good way to introduce flexibility into their bodies.

Recovery

Pilates also promotes recovery as it can act as a rehab program for those previously injured or nursing body discomforts.

If you have been doing Pilates and would like to try something that’s still familiar but a little more intense, then transitioning to Reformer Pilates can be the best decision you can make.

Can osteopathy treat my recurring migraine?

Various factors can cause migraines. Through osteopathy, we can identify the root cause of your migraine and resolve it. Osteopathy relieves muscular spasms and stress in the body by using hands-on therapy. It will facilitate the body's natural healing process to allow improved mobility and enhanced drainage of bodily fluids for your migraine to be gone for good.
How many sessions do I need to get treated?

The number of sessions you need to get fully treated varies depending on your body’s condition. It can also vary depending on how cooperative you are in getting the treatment done right.
