Reformer Pilates for Rheumatoid Arthritis​

Rheumatoid Arthritis

RA is an autoimmune condition and in severe cases joint deformity. In contrast with OA the symptoms between left and right side are not the same.

Rheumatoid Arthritis patients often can follow a regular Reformer Pilates workout. Nonetheless it is important to pay attention to their joint health as symptoms can deteriorate quickly.

Psoriatic Arthritis

Psoriatic arthritis is an inflammatory condition that can occur in those with psoriasis.

Due to the association psoriasis has with the digestive and nervous systems, these patients benefit a lot through the mind-body aspect of reformer pilates while craniosacral therapy offered by Ana can be equally beneficial.

Ankylosing Spondylitis

Reformer Pilates for Gout

Gout

In gout, uric acid build up can restrict joint movement and cause severe pain.

Low-impact exercises on the reformer machine that support joint function can be beneficial for such patients. Equally breathing exercises can help them deal with pain.

Lupus-Related Arthritis

Similar with RA Lupus is an autoimmune disease affecting various organs, including the joints.

Reformer Pilates can be very supportive for lupus patients by allowing them to train in a gentle, mindful way.
