I hurt myself using the reformer machine 6 days ago, possibly due to using the 3 tensions. It felt so easy so I continiued. It is very important to remind everyone to warm up prior to using.
I’m really sorry to hear that, but the reformer can be used to warm up. Form and technique are the main focus when doing so to prevent injury. May I ask what exercise you were doing ?
@@kathrynchanel Hello, thanks for responding. So I did a few sets of circles thah you demonstrated and afterwards because it seemed super easy i put my legs together and pushed them forward / 3 sets of 10. I believe that was my traitor. I have not been tothe gym since.
@@user-sr3vv7ur9w Feet in straps needs to be done on two springs total. I explain that in the video, usually one heavy/medium or one heavy/light. This is so the abdominals work, if the spring tension is too heavy and the abdominals are either not strong enough or engaged I Enough to push the weight the low back will take over and now you have all of that resistance in the back. Try to introduce light bridging in a flat back with feet on the floor and light rotations. This is to get that area slightly mobile again because it is probably feeling extra stiff
If back pain existed then short spine wouldn’t be possible Clients wouldn’t have the strength in the core nor the flexibility to do this. Bridge is barely possible for some clients. Careful ❤
Hi there, thank you for your input but I will have to disagree. 90-95% of low back pain is non- specific. So to assume a client has low back pain and cannot perform an exercise due to a lack of “core strength” and/ or flexibility is a very limiting belief. The best exercise for LBP is the one that the client enjoys. Short spine is more of a massage for the spine and I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like a massage. Just because you are confident in your beliefs doesn’t make them true.. strengthening the core can attribute to relieving low back pain but it Is still a single dimension therapy especially not knowing the origin of the pain. When done correctly, bridging is an amazing exercise to add to the library for LBP.. it’s strengthens the hamstrings (improving flexibility) creates space within the vertebrae and decompresses the low back all while working the abs and the glutes. Check out evidence- based Pilates.. your clients will thank you for it 🙂
If back pain existed none of these exercises would be possible. Pelvic tilts, bridges, twists, and flexions, let alone inversions are almost impossible to be performed during back pain. Speaking from 30 years of experience, and thousands of clients.
@@mvorrias-pc7um And I have to strongly disagree with you. Since I've had 4 back fusions and constantly have lower back pain all the above exercises you referenced above help tremendously! You can't put everyone in the same category by saying they wouldn't be able to do these exercises! And I'm speaking from over 40 years of experience.
Kat why are you so amazing!? Found this video doing some research, helped a ton! Thank you! :)
Aw Monica !! Haha I need to get back on it, I’m happy it helped.. so cool you found my channel! 💕

@@kathrynchanel Thank you very much. After icing continuously my back is at 95% now. Will definitely apply your gracious imput. 😀
