Pilates workouts help improve flexibility, balance and core strength, and are particularly effective if you suffer from back pain. Pilates can both effectively ease back pain and boost functional movement when compared to traditional methods like massage therapy and other forms of exercise.

Having a strong core so important for many reasons. Your core doesn’t only include your rectus abdominis muscles or your obliques. Your core also includes your deep stabilizing muscles called the transverse abdominis, your hips, lower back, and pelvic floor. Building strength in all these muscles is important because it helps keep your body balanced and stable, lets you maintain proper posture and exercise form, keeps your spine stable and safe, and simply helps you move in a more controlled and efficient way.
