Back issues can be a major hindrance to leading a relaxed,
smooth and progressive life. The most unfortunate fact is that most of the
people, working or non-working, young or old, small or tall are facing the
brutalities of this nagging pain. This
increasing health problem can be accounted to the drastic lifestyle changes,
altered sleeping patterns, poor eating habits, lack of body training and wrong
sitting posture we have accustomed ourselves to.
Lower back pain is a health problem that we ourselves have
taken upon our body, but there are also those genetic and biological health
issues that some people are born with that put them on the back foot of
smoothly carrying out various mobility functions on day-to-day basis and one
such issue that greatly disrupts the mobility, as well as the posture of the
patients suffering from it, is the Flat
Back Syndrome. In some of the cases, as reported, the syndrome is sometimes
the result of the muscle tightness and spasms that deeply affects the posture.
Rachel a classical dancer at Arts Ed and a
highly-professional Pilates Instructor Chiswick, has trained numerous clients born
with a flat back syndrome to significantly bring about a change in the posture
and gait by letting them connect with their core back muscles to bring a normal
curvature back in the spine.
As the name clearly implies, Flat Back Syndrome is a
condition where a spinal cord either genetically or due to restrained muscle
functioning could not hold its normal curvature. People with the syndrome feel
immense pain when standing for long periods of time.
You can detect a person suffering from Flat Back Syndrome by
simply gauging the way their head and neck are pushed forward due to the
inability to bent their spine properly.
Here Rachel who also takes body and mind relaxing classes of
Pilates Mat Exercises and Pilates Reformer Ealing, have for you some useful and
posture correcting Pilates exercises that will bring about a structural change
to your spine.

Pilates Swimming pose is a very challenging exercise since it
puts every part of the body at work.
How to do it?
Ø Lie down on your stomach.

keep them together
Ø Let your shoulder blades settle in
your back and position your shoulders away from the ears. Now stretch your arms
straight overhead.
Ø Put your abdominal muscles in action,
pull your abs in and lift your stomach up away from the mat till your belly
button is raised from the mat.
Ø Now, comes the difficult part,
stretch your arms and legs in the opposite directions that they naturally come
off the floor.
Ø Also, let your spine extend as much
as it can that your head naturally comes off the mat as an extension of your
spine.
Ø Don’t tilt your head, just keep it
straight.
Ø Continue reaching your arms and legs
out as long as you can.
