NECK OR BACK PAIN? PILATES IS ESSENTIAL FOR NECK AND BACK HEALTH!!

Pilates helps correct posture, develops core strength, promotes flexibility, and increases body awareness.  Pilates is gentle on the body as it does not stress your joints and ligaments.  Pilates is helpful in reducing and preventing neck and back pain by addressing the underlying structural imbalances in the body.  Back and neck health is effected by lack of core support, pelvic instability, muscular imbalances, poor posture, and lack of body awareness.  
Child pose to relieve tension in back.  Kneeling on mat with your butt on your heels, knees hip distance apart, lean forward and drape your body over your thighs with your arms reaching out in front of you breath deep and relax.  Gently rock your hips side to side.
