Since I have taken up Pilates, my back issues are under control. Practicing Pilates has transformed my life from one of being in chronic pain to being able to manage that. It has allowed me to continue running, biking, and doing all sorts of exercises that I used to do before I started doing Pilates. The other amazing thing about Pilates, I think, is that it is such a centering activity because of the deliberate, slow nature of it. It’s a nice contrast to other forms of exercise, which tend to be much more dynamic.
