A few days ago I had an absolutely outstanding Sunday morning Pilates workout at Viva life in their reformer class. I was tempted to stay on for their following yoga session too!
The Carona Virus crisis is an unprecedented grave reality and may have temporarily closed onsite group sessions at Vivalife and moreover around the country/globe. We are all forced to adapt, however, we have a choice in still striving towards prioritising keeping our body fit. Vivalife’s online program will provide us with an extremely relevant opportunity for this.
There’s just so much I could say about staying on track with our health journey at this point in time… Needless to say that as a chiropractor who is also very passionate about health and movement, I love how complimentary Pilates works together with chiropractic care. Even though it is difficult to implement this ideal collaboration in this immediate crisis it still remains true.
A chiropractor will tell you that a miss-aligned spine and poorly functioning postural system can interfere with your body awareness -neurologically speaking and therein, the accuracy of ALL your movement patterns. This dysfunctional “proprioceptive” movement-feedback, therefore, leaves your body vulnerable to poor form and injuries while at training. Hence chiropractic care may help you to be safer and perform better in your Pilates practice.
There is also lots to be said for how Pilates can support chiropractic care. A weak and poorly toned muscular system makes it easier for your body to “fall” back out of alignment. Pilates can really help you to hold the positive effect from a Chiropractic re-alignment for longer, which might be more relevant than ever with potential upcoming restrictions to practice.
I urge you ALL to strive towards your best health and fitness as it is now more important than ever. We are all in this history-making journey together and WholeBodyChiro is aligned with Vivalife in safely doing all we can to best serve, encourage and empower your strongest health and wellbeing at this time.
