What it is
Chronic low back pain is a condition characterized by persistent discomfort in the lower back region, which can be bilateral or unilateral. It is considered chronic when it persists for more than three months, affecting the individual's quality of life and functional capacity.
Causes and consequences
The causes of chronic low back pain can vary, including factors such as poor posture, muscle weakness, previous spinal injuries, degeneration of intervertebral discs, and even emotional issues such as stress and anxiety. The consequences can be significant, impacting the ability to perform daily activities, work, and adequate sleep, as well as leading to a decrease in quality of life.
How Clinical Pilates can help
Clinical Pilates offers a holistic approach to treating chronic low back pain. Pilates exercises are designed to strengthen the core muscles, including the abdominal, lumbar, and pelvic muscles, which play a crucial role in stabilizing the spine. Additionally, Pilates exercises focus on improving posture, body alignment, and flexibility, helping to correct muscle imbalances and reduce overload in the lumbar region. With regular Clinical Pilates practice, patients may experience a decrease in pain, improved function, and prevention of recurrences, thus promoting a better quality of life.
