Pilates vs humped back?

Why your back are humped

Regardless of whether you have a sedentary or standing job, there is a possibility of a hunch on your back. Bad movement habits, lack of back strengthening and shoulder girdle muscle building, and a tendency to close the chest are enough. Of course, there are activities we do during the day that contribute to the development of hunched backs, such as:

- sedentary work,

- lifting the child frequently,

- breastfeeding by young mothers,

- excessive use of smartphones (smartphone neck).

Regardless of the causes of the hump, you can eliminate it by getting rid of the accompanying pain.

By practicing Pilates regularly, you are able to develop a balance between the strength and mobility of your body, which will improve your body posture. During Pilates training, you will learn how to take care of your back during everyday tasks and return to the natural shape of your spine.

 

What Pilates series will help eliminate the hump? 

1) Weights series!

In classical Pilates, we use weights to perform a series of exercises to strengthen the shoulder girdle and back.

The exercises in this series are called:

  • Boxing

  • Bug

  • Shaving

  • Forearms Curls

  • Zipping

  • Sparkles

  • Arms Circles

  • Chest Expansion

 

2) Exercises on  Small Barrel such as:

• breatching,

• arm circles,

• hug

 

3) Neck Stretcher

Neck Stretcher is a device consisting of a fabric loop that is worn around the head, springs and a carabiner. Neck Stretcher versions of the basic exercises attach to hand springs on a machine called the Cadillac. Exercises can be performed with the equipment in a sitting and kneeling position. Joseph Pilates, as a former professional boxer, invented this equipment to strengthen the necks of boxers. With powerful right hook punches, strong neck muscles are the basis for safely completing a boxing round!

 

How do these exercises affect the body.

When it comes to exercises with weights, the weight of the weight is selected individually! A series of these exercises is salvation for people struggling with excessive neck tension and spine pain. Exercises from the series of standing exercises additionally shape our body posture and encode the correct functioning of all postural muscles.

Small Barrel and Spina Corrector exercises as breathing exercises aim to open the chest by stretching the pectoral, dorsal and intercostal muscles. When performing breathing series exercises, we strengthen our neck and the connection between our hands and our back.

The aim of exercises with the Neckar Stretcher is to strengthen the shoulder girdle, arms, back and develop the symmetry of the work of individual muscle sections along the spine. Exercises with the Neck Stretcher are designed to strengthen the neck muscles and abdominal muscles, which support the stabilization of the entire spine.
