Summary

This study aims to investigate the effects of Pilates for postnatal women with Non-specific low back pain (NSLBP).

Detailed description

Low back pain (LBP) is of high prevalence among adults, which can be related to factors such as sedentary lifestyle, being overweight or work conditions. Non-specific LBP (NSLBP) is defined as pain in the lower back region that cannot be attributed to a recognizable, specific pathology such as infection, fracture, or nerve root compression. Pilates exercises focus on improving core stability, flexibility, posture, and body awareness through controlled, precise movements. The integration of breathing techniques and concentration enhances the mind-body connection, which can contribute to pain reduction and functional improvement. For individuals with LBP, Pilates has been shown to improve strength and flexibility, reduce pain intensity, and enhance overall physical function, making it a promising intervention for managing musculoskeletal disorders.
