The focus on core strength through every exercise can improve a number of painful conditions. Many clients are introduced to pilates through a search for exercise which will help to control their condition and improve their fitness levels. The instructors at Soma have worked with people who have scoliosis, back pain, disc bulge and recent surgery. Pilates has assisted me greatly with my own injury, a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament. Knowledge of how the muscles work and walking gait pattern has helped me to return to my feet more quickly than expected. I have used the reformer in particular which has provided me with a fantastic framework to assist with ACL injury. The reformer allows the client to be lying down in a nonweight bearing position where gentle movements can activate and strengthen the hamstrings and quadriceps. If you know of anyone who may be looking to get fit but are stopped by physical pain perhaps we can help. Ask them to call me, Kirsten at Soma 9596 4476.
