2. EGAP II:
¿Can people with postural problems practice pilates?
My name is Evelyn Araujo. My last presentation was about the Pilates method I
talked about the different types of pilates, and the benefits.
Pilates have a a lot of good benefits. But, Can everybody practice pilates?
The classes are particularly good for back problems because the exercises
strengthen the muscles that support the spine. But there are a few investigations
which shows that pilates can be dangerous for people with scoliosis .
The increased pressure and strain of the exercises can aggravate the weakened
spine, causing the disc to rupture, and pressing on the nerve.
The damage could be so extensive that the only way for round it is surgery to trim
the disc.
In this days, doctors seeing an increasing number of patients who have muscular
strains or aggravated degenerate discs after attending Pilates classes because
they thought it would help with their back problems,’
Pilates is a very good rehabilitation method but if exercises are carried out
incorrectly they can weaken the back and cause existing conditions to deteriorate.
