Fight Back Pain and Osteoporosis with Pilates at Training Lab Florence

Back Pain

The solution to back pain may be simpler than you think.
Recent studies from the University of Brisbane have identified that weakening of the Multifidus and Transverse muscles of the Abdomen is a major cause of back pain. Pilates, unlike other forms of exercise, is particularly effective in strengthening these muscles, giving the back the support it needs to eliminate pain.
Neurosurgeon specialists recommend Pilates not only to prevent surgery, but also as post-surgery rehabilitation. At our center, we organize special Pilates groups for those with lower back conditions. Before we start, we perform a postural assessment and, if necessary, a muscle assessment using the Pressure Biofeedback Unit technique.

Osteoporosis

L’osteoporosi non è inevitabile.
Osteoporosis is not inevitable.
Defined as a metabolic disease that weakens bones, osteoporosis can be prevented and countered with the right combination of exercises. Bone responds to physical stress by becoming stronger and adapting its internal structure. Pilates is ideal for this process, using machines that load the joints and stimulate the musculoskeletal system.

Benefits of Pilates for osteoporosis include:

  • Improved posture: Decompresses the back and strengthens muscles.
  • Increased balance and coordination: Both static and dynamic.
  • Increased strength, flexibility and endurance.
  • Optimization of joint motility.
  • Improvement of visual flexibility.

Pilates in Pregnancy: All-around Wellness for Future Moms.

Discover the benefits of Pilates during pregnancy!
Pilates is an ideal exercise for pregnant women, helping to maintain strength and fitness throughout pregnancy. This method encourages a deep connection with the changing body, improves posture and reduces joint pain often present during this period. Always consult your gynecologist before starting.
Abdominal Elasticity and Strength
During pregnancy, the hormone relaxin increases the elasticity of muscles, ligaments, and joint capsules, allowing the body to adapt to the growth of the fetus and prepare for delivery. The abdominal muscles, which stretch more than 50 percent of their length, need constant strengthening to support the growing uterus, reduce compression of the lumbar spine, and decrease pelvic pressure.

Special Programs for the Pelvic Floor

An often-overlooked aspect is pelvic floor toning, which is critical for preventing back pain, urine leakage, and other gynecological issues. Pilates improves pelvic floor receptivity and function, with excellent results.

At Training Lab Florence, we have developed a perineal rehabilitation program based on advanced methods such as Dr. Kari Bo’s “pelvicore” and Dr. B. de Gasquet’s French school. This program focuses on:

  • Superficial and sphincter muscles: the former to be activated.
  • Deep musculature: crucial for pelvic stabilization and visceral support.

With our program, the entire perineal complex will benefit, improving structure and reducing pain.
