Or are you a golfer who suffers from low back pain?  In Pilates an experienced trainer will teach you how to move your body correctly.  Once you move correctly you get those great abs and those workout results that you desire.  You can also expect to reduce a lot of pain by now moving your body correctly – a double benefit.  It is for the latter reason why Pilates continues to be endorsed by physiotherapists, physical therapists, osteopaths, surgeons and GPs.
