Welcome to an article that will change the way you think about your back health. We’re diving into the world of Back Pilates, an innovative approach that promises to strengthen your back, improve your posture, and banish those pesky back pains. We were invited to try out the BackAware Back Pilates program and talk to the founder and Chartered Physiotherapist, Dr. Eoin Everard.

So, grab your yoga mats, because we’re about to embark on a journey to a stronger back!

What is Back Pilates and how is it different to Pilates?

The creator of BackAware Back Pilates, Dr. Eoin Everard outlines that the difference between back Pilates and General Pilates is due to differences in the exercises selected and the philosophy employed. “Not all Pilates exercises are helpful for back pain. Some moves will actually make your back pain worse”. “Also with Back Pilates we really believe in keeping the spine in the neutral (natural) curve throughout all exercises rather than with General Pilates there can be flattening of this natural curve in a lot of the movements”.

What sets the BackAware Pilates Program apart from other Pilates programs is the personalization. With a simple, free back quiz designed by BackAware Back Pilates, this program gets to know your individual needs, possible causes for back pain and goals. Whether you’re a fitness fanatic or a newbie to the exercise scene, this quiz ensures that your classes are tailor-made just for you.

The quiz covers everything from your back pain history to your lifestyle habits, ensuring that the program understands what makes your back tick. By leveraging this personalized insight, Back Pilates Program crafts a roadmap that specifically targets the muscles supporting your back, enhances your flexibility, and corrects any pesky postural imbalances. Say goodbye to generic workouts and hello to a program that’s designed for your unique back needs.

Invaluable Feedback during Exercises: Perfect Your Moves

Another unique feature of the BackAware Pilates Program is the feedback you get from the BackAware Belt. This first of its kind technology gives you feedback when doing the exercise routine. It makes the routine very fun and nearly makes every exercise a game as you receive real-time corrections and adjustments during your workout sessions. Drop your stomach and your belt buzzes. Round your back too much and again it buzzes to tell you you are out of position.

The concentration I had to have for each exercise took me back to the Beat the Buzzer Game!

“My goal with the BackAware Belt was always to give people the next best thing to having a personal trainer with them throughout every exercise they do” says Eoin.  “The BackAware Belt™ gives real time feedback so that the belt vibrates and you can see when you are in a poor position”.

This means you can say goodbye to slouching and hello to impeccable form and alignment.

This feedback mechanism in the BackAware Pilates Program ensures that you make the most of each exercise, engaging the right muscles and avoiding unnecessary strain. The instructors using this interactive technology act as your personal guides, helping you fine-tune your technique and fostering a mind-body connection like never before. With this level of feedback, you’ll feel like you have a personal trainer right in your living room, guiding you toward a stronger, pain-free back.

Bonus Material for Everyday Back Pain Management

But wait, there’s more! As if personalized classes and real-time feedback weren’t enough, the Back Pilates Program goes the extra mile by providing bonus material to help you manage back pain in your daily life. This supplemental material equips you with information, practical tips, and instructional videos to tackle back pain head-on.

From learning proper posture and sitting posture to discovering self-care techniques, the bonus material empowers you to take control of your back health beyond the workout sessions. Incorporate these practices into your daily routine and you’ll be well on your way to managing back pain.

Conclusion:
