Will Pilates Help Recover from a Slipped Disc?
Pilates is a low-impact exercise that involves stretching, strengthening, and core stability. It is often recommended as a form of rehabilitation after a slipped disc because it can help to:
- Improve flexibility and range of motion
- Strengthen the core muscles, which can support the spine
- Reduce pain and inflammation
- Improve balance and coordination
While Pilates can be helpful in recovering from a slipped disc, it's important to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity of your exercises as you progress. It's also important to work with a qualified Pilates instructor to make sure you're doing the exercises correctly.
