True Pilates for a strong back “Relieves pain and brings long-term benefits”

HEALTH – Sara Crognoletti of the Physiolab Center explains how this method can help people suffering from more or less severe back pain by keeping the spine strong and posturally correct

Raise your hand if you have never had back pain. From the sensation of localized discomfort to severe pain caused by incorrect postures repeated over time or, in the most serious cases, accidents that compromise mobility. You have to find time for yourself to devote to your body to avoid bad repercussions.

«95% of the cases I deal with in the studio are related to back pain, for 15 years I have been trying not only to relieve the pain but to ensure that the person who approaches Pilates experiences long-term benefits – says Sara Crognoletti of the Physiolab Center in Pollenza – Pilates is great for strengthening the spine and keeping it strong for longer. This is because it works on the deep and deep muscle fibers training allows you to maintain this strength for prolonged periods. Even if you take a break for a few weeks, you never start all over again, precisely because the progress and beneficial effects do not end in the short term. There is a phrase that stands out in the great hall and that summarizes the concept: “In 10 lessons you feel the difference, in 20 you see it, in 30 you will have a completely new body” ».

Sara Crognoletti has a degree in Exercise Sciences, has a degree in physiotherapist, has attended a master’s in personal training, weight loss, nutrition, and specializes in scoliosis for children and adults and Pilates in pregnancy. She graduated from the True Pilates school in Rome, in 2016 she opened the Physiolab Center in Casette Verdini di Pollenza.

«With pilates you constantly work on the abdominal wall, the powerhouse as it is called in the discipline, and in muscle stretching. The column benefits and draws relief from it, people at the end of the lesson say they feel longer, taller and straighter even in situations where you have to stand for a long time. Most of the people who come to the studio work on the computer or tablet, from home or in the office; in this period technological devices are used more, there is distance learning. The spine undergoes these situations and it is a disaster for the posture, which is why training helps to stay strong and posturally correct during the day but also elastic and flexible. Same goes if there is aherniated discstretching helps but you need to strengthen and tone the abdominal wall, buttocks, legs ».

Pilates is a re-educational, preventive and therapeutic gymnastics focused on posture, breathing and harmony. Joseph Pilates conceived it in the United States at the beginning of the twentieth century, but its diffusion in Italy is recent.
«Pilates takes you a little beyond your limits every time, during each lesson we go slightly beyond what the person thinks they can give. If we are dealing with serious pathologies, the lesson will be light, in all other cases we will come up with something more: there are exercises that you think you will not be able to do, my collaborators and I will gradually approach you to your limit “.

If the ingenious original machinery designed by Joseph Pilates they are an extra help in the exercises to make them less tiring and more effective, the results depend above all on personal motivation.
«80% of the effort is put by the person who comes to the studio, I listen and guide, but it is still a therapy where the desire to get better is fundamental. A 55-year-old woman was operated on at 14 with an intervention, which was at the forefront in Italy at the time, in which she was placed a titanium plate over the entire spine. Five years ago she came to me and she walked completely inclined forward, she risked losing her job as a cashier because she could no longer even sit. We started with 20 minute lessons because she was in a lot of pain. Today she does incredible workouts, to be envied, and the merit of her goes to her iron constancy of her. She had to operate again about two years ago, but the doctors told her to continue like this until at least 70 years old.
I also remember well the tenacity of a 50-year-old man who has two hip replacements and several serious discopathies at risk of vertebral collapse. At first the pain was excruciating, he told me, but lesson after lesson it faded, it took patience but after a year you feel like a new person. He is strong, maintains a correct posture and does not feel pain ».

Painful situations also lead to negative moods, and being able to relieve them certainly improves your lifestyle. «I myself am a witness to back pain treated with Pilates. I met Sabina Formichella of the True Pilates school in Rome, who first trained me and then proposed to become a teacher. From that moment my life changed and I decided to do something for others ».
