Understand Lower Back Pain

Are you stressing out your lower Back?

Lower Back Pain rarely has only 1 cause. During periods or high stress we are more likely to develop pain – as this part of the body has a high concentration of sympathetic receptors. At the same time, a sedentary lifestyle and weakness on the muscles around the area can “break the camel’s back”.

Strengthening your abs is not enough

You would probably not going to be surprised if we were to tell you that weak abdominals and poor posture can contribute to Lower Back Pain. Did you know though that weak glutes, adductors, and lower back muscles are equally common causes?

Occational discomfort can turn into chronic pain

The most common reason for chronic Lower Back Pain is the daily compensations most people with sensitive lower backs go through. If you are experiencing occasional pain in this area, address it before it becomes part of how you walk, seat, sleep, live.

Lower Back Success Stories

"My experience of Ana's teaching has been excellent. I came as a complete novice with a longstanding back problem and have I have found Ana to be extremely knowledgeable and skilled at teaching me, despite my physical restrictions. She has helped me understand how to help myself, and she has made Pilates fun and interesting. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone considering 1-2-1 Pilates lessons."

"Despite or because of a lot of physical activity - cycling and hiking - I was suffering from chronic back and joint pain. My partner and I have been taking private ZOOM classes with Anastasis twice a week since June, and we supplement them with short morning routines that Anastasis regularly updates to assist us with where we are in the evolution of our practice, and any musculoskeletal limitations we are experiencing. I'm astonished not only by how much my practice has advanced in six months with Anastasis, but also by the virtual elimination of the progressively worse back and joint pain I dad been experiencing in recent years. 50 km cycle rides, 10 Km strenuous hikes, even a 1,000 km car ride - NO problem! Anastasis is a superb instructor - great technically, passionate about what he does, and enjoyable to be with. I highly recommend him."
