  • A pilates-inspired workout that's suitable for people with chronic back pain.
    More research is needed, but there is some evidence to suggest that pilates can be helpful for people who have lower back pain.
    This 29-minute class focuses on improving the strength and flexibility of muscles that support the back.
    Regular pilates practice can help with posture, muscle tone, balance and joint mobility. It can also relieve stress and tension.

    I have been regularly doing pilates workout for the past 2 years. But due to my back back which started last week I had to stop my workouts. Then, I discovered your workout and I must tell you... There has been a lot of improvement in my back. Immediately after doing the routine I feel as if I am pain free... Thanks a ton.... I would recommend this workout to everyone who has back pain

    All I can say is thank you. It has worked wonders in 5 days. On Saturday I couldn't walk and had shooting pains down my legs and into my feet. I was an extremely unhappy man. Now I'm up and about, walking and finally have the confidence that I can start strengthening my core again without injuring my back. You will be in my prayers

    This workout helped my back pain almost immediately! It was an acute injury from work and was so painful but these exercises definitely helped. I will continue doing them and will look at doing some other videos too.

    Really helpful with lots of alternatives for people who have issues of certain movements especially with AS . Lots of explanation which is really good. I sometimes find it difficult to find when to breath in and when to breath out .l find that I’m breathing in as I do the exercise and out as I release and find it difficult to remember the breathing part when I’m exercising and when I do I will forget half way. Thank you for the helpful video ! I will definitely check the other videos

    Good morning Sam, my name is Evelyn. My GP sign posted me to your link. I joined your Pilate exercise class this Saturday morning and find them helpful. Could you please advise me on some gentle knee exercises to do whilst doing the Pilate exercise. I do suffer from some arthritis also in my knees, hips and ankle. Also, l have spondylitis on my back. Thank you so much.

    Hi Just wanted to Thank you for These videos im having A go but I have neuropathy and the way you show us that’s safe to get on to the floor and up again is very unstable for me and i end up falling. i personally think going from downward dog and walking hands to feet or feet to hands more stable. hope this helps others like me 😊

    Hi Sam. I'm restarting your programme of exercises for chronic back pain. You mentioned one exercise in a previous video I watched a year or so ago, which you advised we all do every day, even if it is the only one we do! Can you enlighten me as I didn't save that particular video?

  • @Delmar483

    Doing the circles with your pelvis felt great, until I had to change direction and for a few seconds I thought my brain was dead 😂😂😂 I eventually did it correctly but for a few seconds my brain was like “CAN NOT COMPUTE, CAN NOT COMPUTE!!” 😂😂😂😂

    I could not see the excercise because of all the notes that were written on your movements. You can move the notes on the side so we could see your exercise.
