At Lisa Kaye’s Pilates studio, Pilates One 2 One, movement is medicine. Lisa’s carefully tailored Pilates sessions help restore mobility, build strength, and reduce the discomfort that comes with stiff or inflamed joints. But movement alone isn’t always enough. That’s why Lisa chooses to pair her Pilates practice with Rose-Hip Vital, our natural, scientifically-backed supplement proven to reduce inflammation and support joint health from the inside out.
This 2-tier approach, which targets joint pain through mindful movement and internal nourishment, offers a holistic pathway to lasting relief.
What is Pilates? A Brief Overview
Pilates is a system of body conditioning using body weight or spring resistance that has been practiced since the 1920’s. It was invented by Joseph Pilates as a way of strengthening his own body after being a sickly child and he honed the method over many years until he opened his first studio in New York in 1926.
Recently Pilates has become super popular as a form of group exercise with many studios offering a hybrid version of fitness-style Pilates on adapted equipment.
Pilates can be practiced at many different levels as it can be used for rehabilitation from injury at one end of the scale, right up to Olympic sports level conditioning at the other end.
Pilates for Joint Pain and Arthritis Relief
Pilates can be extremely beneficial for people with arthritis and joint issues. The low-impact nature of Pilates, with its controlled movements and focus on core stability, makes it a safer option compared to high-impact exercises.
1. Muscle Strengthening
Pilates emphasises building core strength and can help stabilise joints and reduce the load placed on them. Strengthening the muscles around the affected joints can also improve their function and pain.
2. Improved Flexibility and Range of Motion
Pilates focusses on controlled movement to gently improve the range of motion in the joints which may be limited by arthritis. This can improve mobility and reduce stiffness.
3. Enhanced Balance
Many Pilates exercises have a focus on balance which, coupled with core stability can help improve overall balance. This is important for those with arthritis who may be at higher risk of falls.
4. Pain Reduction
By strengthening muscles, improving flexibility and reducing inflammation, Pilates can help alleviate the pain associated with arthritis. The low-impact nature of Pilates also helps minimise the risk of further joint damage.
5. Improved Quality of Life
Pilates can improve your ability to perform activities of daily life and help you to feel more confident in the way that you move.
How to Get Started with Pilates for Joint Support
The most accessible way to get started with Pilates for beginners is to go to Beginners Mat Pilates classes at your local gym or try a home practice using a reputable online resource. By starting with a Beginner class or online course, this will allow you to focus on proper form and understanding of the basic principles of Pilates before progressing to more advanced classes or equipment.
1 on 1 sessions can also be extremely beneficial for special needs but can be price prohibitive for many.
Supercharge Your Joint Health: Combine Pilates with Rose-Hip Vital
