Improve Your Quality Of Life With Private Pilates Training

By Anna Brown


It is not only one suffering the consequences of traumatic injury that finds themselves physically limited in a sudden and dramatic fashion. Illnesses that occur for many during middle age such as gallstones or cardiac arrest may find themselves physically limited after surgery or treatment. The duration of such limitations can be shortened if they seek private Pilates training.

This discipline is often confused with Yoga, but there are some vital differences between the two. A Yoga instructor, known as a Yogi, generally avoids the use of any resistance machinery in their workout. A true Yoga fanatic stays focused on a notion of utilizing their own body weight, along with gravity, as the only resistance needed during the routine.

Yoga, as a form of physical fitness, is designed to work virtually every muscle in the body during the course of a one-hour session. Our trainers, on the other hand, are following a fitness discipline which focuses on spinal alignment as well as strengthening the upper body and core. Many of the exercises they will show the patient can be done from a chair, or even on a couch.

Many patients who are severely injured will experience a total loss of muscle tone during their healing process. For this reason, their trainers will begin their fitness regimen with movements that may only require them to tighten muscles in certain parts of the body. By holding abdominal muscles tight for twenty seconds, on up to two minutes or more, they can achieve the flat stomach they once thought was only a dream.

Spinal injuries and repetitive motion injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, are the most common ways that humans hurt themselves. For someone who has completely lost the use of half of their body, keeping the upper half strong is more than an improvement in lifestyle. When a patient allows themselves to become completely inactive, they can suffer painful bedsores, or even a loss of circulation that can be fatal.

Both disciplines teach the student or patient to focus on the connection between the body and the mind. Individuals who are healing from surgeries or health events in their lives are encouraged to pay close attention to how their moods impact their health. Most patients discover that when they take the time to see their trainer, and follow up with the exercises on their own, their moods improve along with their physical abilities.

In many cases, the pain of repetitive motion injuries such as carpal tunnel is so improved with these sessions that surgery is not necessary. Carpal tunnel and back strains are two chronic pain conditions which commonly result from inadequate muscle in the wrists or the spine to support the patient in the activity they endure during a work day. Avoiding risky surgery that may not even help is always a good result.

Patients who fail to attend their sessions with these trainers do themselves a disservice. Anyone with fitness goals is much more likely to achieve them when they attend a class or submit themselves to the attentions of their trainers. With their quality and length of life at stake, it cannot be more strongly urged that they make these disciplines a habit for life.
