[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]From a Physio to You: Why I Advocate for Reformer Pilates<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a seasoned physiotherapist in Lucan, I’ve spent a considerable part of my life addressing and treating injuries. Over the years, one recurring theme that stands out is the vast difference between injury treatment and injury prevention.<\/p>\n

Now, let’s get one thing straight: treatment is essential. It\u2019s the process of healing what’s been injured or strained. But imagine a world where we fortified our bodies so well, the chances of getting injured reduced dramatically. That’s where injury prevention comes in, and that’s where Reformer Pilates shines.<\/p>\n

Reformer Pilates isn\u2019t just a trendy exercise; it’s a science-backed method of strengthening the body.<\/p>\n

Here’s the scoop: The reformer, a unique piece of equipment with springs, straps, and a gliding platform, targets the deeper muscles, promoting balanced muscle development. These aren\u2019t the muscles you flaunt at the beach; these are the muscles that hold your skeleton in optimal alignment, that ensures you move efficiently, and that reduce your risk of injuries.<\/p>\n

One study published in the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy found that Pilates-based therapeutic exercise had positive effects on pain and function in patients with chronic low back pain. Now, that’s the power of body maintenance, the crux of injury prevention.<\/p>\n
