If you regularly practice Pilates, it will help you to strengthen and train the small and large muscles which are attached to the spine. These muscles are important because they will coordinate movements. Strength and stability are both important for your spine and pilates will help you to achieve both. Your spine will become both stable and mobile when you practice different Pilates exercises. Here you move your spine sequentially with control. It will help you to work on the deep back and abdominal muscles that support your spine.

It will help you to have a strong and flexible spine. The flexibility of the spine will decide whether you are old or young and you can be young at 60 if your spine is flexible.
Pilates can improve your posture
One major reason of back pain is wrong posture. If your body is not in its correct alignment, it can cause back and neck problems. A good posture will help you to remove back and neck problems by optimum distribution of force throughout the body. When that happens, the musculoskeletal system will be able to function properly. It will protect you against injury and deterioration in future. It is also important to ensure that your spine is straight because if it is not it will cause problems for other organs in your body.
Pilates is beneficial for you as it can strengthen your body is muscular structure which is necessary for supporting and protecting your body when you move it. Because of poor posture this structure may become weak. By connecting your posture Pilates will help you to eliminate the possibility of weakness.
Pilates with back pain
If you are already suffering from back pain, even then Pilates can help you to remove that pain. For doing that, you should be a little careful when starting Pilates classes. You need to find an expert who can teach you the right way of doing the exercises. You should perform each exercise properly and you will also lead to practice at home. Remembering what you learned in the classes will also help you to use them in your daily life. For example, when you sit down to not slouch. When you stand, do not slouch and stand and walk tall and erect. If you are already having back pain, you should be very careful while lifting something. You need to keep your back straight while lifting something heavy by bending your hips and knees. You can learn such ways of doing things in your classes as well.
Staying in bed can help you to relieve back pain for some time but it will not help you to get rid of the problem permanently. Pilates can on the other hand help you to completely eliminate your back problem.
