Physiotherapy and Pilates go hand in hand and are a match made in heaven. The two are highly similar and you will find that combining them makes a lot of logical sense and can help you to develop a stronger back and mid section, more definition in your legs, buttocks and other areas and less pain in your daily life. Here we will look at how physiotherapy and Pilates work in order to improve your health and in particular your spine.
One of the most common complaints that sends people either to Pilates or to physiotherapy is a bad back – and in particular pain in the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is the nerve that runs all down your back and which carries signals to and from the legs. Often the bottom half of this sciatic nerve can unfortunately become trapped or get lodged against bone or muscle here and this then can cause severe pain in the back of course, but also all down the legs, hips, buttocks and anything else that has signals going through there.

Physiotherapy and pilates have a lot in common and are both a great way to deal with joint pains and muscular problems. If you have ever broken an ankle or another bone, or twisted a joint in any way, then you will likely have been sent to a physiotherapist. Here you will have had the joint manipulated and massaged and will likely have been given a range of different exercises to perform in order to strengthen the muscle and to loosen the joint and tendons. If you've ever been to pilates on the other hand then you will likely have experienced many of the same things.
Here you will have been instructed to perform various exercises during the class while your instructor demonstrates them at the front of the class, many of these will have been taxing on your muscles and will have trained your core, your thighs, your buttocks and more which can help to give you a great toned and firm physique. At the same time you will likely have been shown how to stretch correctly and limber up and your balance and flexibility will be improved as a result.
