If you suffer from lower back pain it can take its toll on your physical and mental wellbeing…

Pilates is one of the most effective movement methods to help with lower back pain. We will explore ways to manage – and avoid – episodes of back pain.

The discs in your spine sit between the vertebrae, acting as cushions that absorb shock and protect your spinal bones. Inside these discs is a gel-like substance that provides flexibility and shock absorption.

A herniated disc occurs when some or all of this gel-like substance escapes from the disc and enters the spinal canal. This can lead to a range of symptoms, from mild discomfort to severe pain, depending on the extent of the prolapse and whether it impinges on any nerves. It can also be referred to as a ‘Slipped Disc’ or ‘Disc Prolapse.’

Sciatica is a commonly used term, but symptoms and causes can vary. Pilates can be an effective method for managing and relieving sciatica pain.
