80% of people with back pain suffer repeated episodes.

One of the reasons for this is that after the first episode the muscles that stabilise the spine become weaker and are less effective at protecting it.

Pilates exercises are designed to strengthen these vital muscles, helping to prevent further problems.

At Brighton Physiotherapy Clinic we teach back pain patients specially modified exercises which can be more appropriate and safer than those taught in some classes or from books or DVD's.
