New York Pilates for Neck Pain:

He creates a series of exercises which systematically restored balance to the body with the aim of prevention of injury recurrence.

How will New York Pilates help Neck Pain:

Many people usually associate New York Pilates with the improvement of core strength in relation to back health. However, a major emphasis of New York Pilates is improving the alignment of the whole body and so enhancing overall postural awareness. Muscles that sit near to the spine in your neck region give feedback to the brain regarding where the head is in space and so serve a postural role. These muscles are known as the deep neck flexors.

Research demonstrates that in conditions of chronic neck pain and whiplash these muscles sometimes don't fire as they should or don't fire at all. New York Pilates classes at Physioworks will help retrain the use and awareness of your deep neck flexor muscles. While in targeting postural muscles through a range of exercises, New York Pilates improves the endurance of the muscles for sustained activities such as prolonged sitting at work and so, prevent recurrence of the future injury.

The link between New York Pilates and Core Stability:

Joseph Pilates started the 'core stability' phenomenon in the 1920s, whose exercise regimes have become quite trendy in the last 10 years. New York Pilates talked regarding developing a 'girdle of strength' by learning to recruit the deep-trunk muscles. Even without complete information about anatomy and the advantages of the latest muscle activity analysis, he was aware of the importance of those deep muscles and their supportive effects. Well, core stability training specifically targets the smaller and deeper back and stomach muscles. Once recruited, these muscles control the position of the spine throughout the dynamic movements of your body.
