Pilates should not leave you with recurring neck, shoulder or lower back pain. If a Pilates exercise hurts during or after class, the problem may not be the exercise itself, but how the movement is being organised. Learn why common exercises such as The Hundreds, bridging, Feet in Straps, Hands in Straps and Swan can cause discomfort, what your body may be compensating for, and how to modify the movement without simply pushing through pain.
