Beginner Pilates Exercises for Back Health

Our back is an important muscle group in our body. It helps us walk, carry and perform everyday activities. More and more people are experiencing back problems which can affect other areas of the body, like hips and legs. Sitting for too long or lifting objects the wrong way are some causes of back issues.

Prevention is the best key to back health and pilates is the perfect start to strengthen the back. There are some back issues that require professional treatment and monitoring. If you are suffering from long-term back problems it is a good idea to visit a physiotherapist.

Some of the causes of lower back pain can be poor posture, stress, too much sitting, and incorrect lifting. Lack of exercise and movement can also cause back issues. You can help your body when there are age-related issues like arthritis and osteoporosis by regularly participating in regular safe pilates exercises. Some menopausal women can suffer from back issues.
