Back pain

[Resi]

Pilate's has really helped my back pain. Just make sure you check with your doctor first, and get a true Pilate's instructor at a reputable studio.

I absolutely agree with tulip! Pilate's helped my back pain, after I have retired from my professional ballet career. But be careful where you go for this courses, there are a lot of want to be Pilate's instructor, which get there certification on a weekend workshop. A good Pilate's instructor goes trough a couple of years of training. Well I guess, we get what we pay... this is my opinion.

You take care

How long have you been riding? It might be a case of just strengthening your lower back. Make sure you aren't pushing big heavy gears. Very tough on the lower back.

+1 on seat adjustment, bar ends & private pilate lessons with a certified teacher. You can really mess things up in a big class where they aren't watching you. Pilates is very subtle. You learn to engage your inner core muscles, not just "suck in your abs." A few sessions is well worth the $$.
