Pilates is an exercise method designed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century and is now one of the hottest exercise programs around, and for good reason. It is based on the idea that the mind controls the body and focuses on the core postural muscles which help keep the body balanced. This is essential to providing support for your spine. Most importantly, Pilates exercises teach awareness of breath and alignment of the spine, and strengthen your deep core muscles, which are key to help alleviate and prevent back pain.
