The benefits of Yoga and Pilates for lower back pain

WITH the colder weather creeping in, Osteo and Physio are helping more clients who are complaining of aches and pains, particularly in the lower back.

There has been talking in the news recently about how yoga and pilates can make a positive difference to lower back pain – alleviating pain and improving ease of movement.

Jonathan Boxall, the osteopath, said: ‘As an osteopath, I regularly recommend yoga and pilates to clients, relating to posture and particularly lower back pain. They are both fantastic forms of exercise to support osteopathy treatment.’

  • He said the main reasons yoga and pilates benefit people with back issues are:
  • They are excellent for core stability. A stronger core supports and takes the strain from your lower
  • They are great for balance which makes you less prone to injuries through ‘jarring’.
  • They are great for relaxation, which in turn reduces stress created by tight muscles.
  • They are a fitness activity that people enjoy and engage with.

So if you find that you are suffering from lower back pain this winter, try Yoga to relieve the aches and pains.
