Mat Pilates for Back Pain | Ease Your Back & Strengthen Your Core | 20 Min

[@user-rr1ph8ki3c]

Another year older, and my athletic body has naturally slowed down, and when I would try to do my usual routine, I would injure my back, and my worn knees. My chiropractor told me to try pilates using mat only. So, I searched You Tube and found The Girl with the Pilate Mat! Yay, Rachel is a really good instructor, and the instructions have really helped me so that i can do my regular daily activities because the tightness in hips, lower back and knees are gently stretched out! Thanks Rachel! ♦

I needed to see this comment bc this is me and I’ve been wondering how to fix it! ❤

[@SusanPrevost]

This was a lovely class for my 73 year old body.❤️

[@Thepetpedisock]

I love all your standing exercises! I had horrible knee pain, no balance. I've started supplements for inflammatory and your routines. Took me 6 mos, but I can balance without leaning on a chair now. Thank you so much!

[@edg92]

Very helpful, I have been suffering from really bad back spasms and tried numerous exercises as Instructed by physios but this is the only thing that has worked. Great job!

[@gypsywine]

There are days when I can't wait to get onto my mat with this practice. Leaves me feeling so relaxed, calm and light. Thank you for another great video.

After 3 weeks my back is so much happier Thank you Rachel

[@deangamblewest2163]

Thank you so much! I have been doing your program since Jan 1. Then Mother Nature dumped a tonne of snow on my farm. After shoveling my critters out, my back blew. This stretch made it feel so much better. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Skye from Duncan, BC, Canada

Hi Rachel, I have had #MS for 27ish years, done pilates for 16, and as I'm nursing a bad back, this has been 💯 brilliant. Thank you massively. The pace is top notch too. I look forward to seeing you more, Roger (Northumberland)

[@sedonasolutions7662]

Loved this! My back feels great, no more tension! You are the best! XXoo Suzette

[@remnantresurrected8684]

Thank you so much. I am 44 and I have Ankylosing Sponylosis. I do "look" fit but I am not! I am also very iron deficient, which I am currently working on. This was rather strenuous for me. However I plan to do this every day until I am strong and then I will venture out on your other videos. I have a very hard time lying on the floor and part of that will be to gain strength and muscle along my spine. Just very thankful to have found this as I recover from thyroid cancer and try to heal the Crohn's disease. ❤

[@Megan-o2h]

Wishing you strength and peace on your healing journey ❤

[@suedepinto2016]

Still glorious for my back, hips, hamstrings, thank you, thank you!🙏🏼 😊❤

[@valeriebeale1789]

This is my Day 8 of January’s challenge, alas failed to heed your warning when doing a workout yesterday…too many ‘roll-ups’ so suffering hence this was a good ‘therapeutic’ exercise which I return to every so often. As always many thanks Rachel ❤️🙏 x

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

Excellent Valerie, you make it work for you xx❤️

[@NannyNoot]

20:12 I love this Core Workout but when I get to this one my Right Knee starts to hurt so I stop. And also I wonder Why that whenever I do Yoga or Stretches I keep on Yawning... perhaps bc I am Breathing a lot.. I listen to your Directions of the Breathing, ty. I love how your are so Calm when you Speak, it so Relaxing.

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

So glad ❤️

[@sarahwinzar3338]

This was amazing and helped with my back / hip pain .. I had just been googling chiropractors near me ! Thank you for sharing this . I am finding pilates helping more with hips than yoga I did ?

[@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat]

The pilates will both stretch and strengthen your hips, we focus on mobility and control in movement which is why it is so helpful for hip and back pain. The more you strengthen all the core muscles, the better the pian relief I have found. Keep up the great work xx 🤗

[@zenchan9383]

Adding that secondary camera angle is probably the best choice in your yt career. more of those angles on all your poses and moves would be very appreciated. much love from Zen XOXO💞🥰

[@katelarson1652]

This was just what I was looking for! My back says ahhhhh 😊😊😊

[@susanhamlyn9008]

Very good gentle stretches. Love all your colourful outfits- they help me remember which classes to revisit🦆🦆

[@wandagj100]

My Chiropractor said I need to strengthen my core and I found this wonderful stretch.
