Ways Pilates Helps Heal and Prevent Injuries



At Polestar Pilates Asia our students are trained in injury rehabilitation and prevention. Our comprehensive teacher training is an in-depth study of Pilates exercises and how to do them, but also a collaboration of exploring critical thinking, creative thinking, and problem solving. Our goal is to create a positive movement experience for our students, that they can then pass on to their students, resulting in empowering Polestar Pilates clients around the world to make healthy changes in the functions of their lives. We train Pilates Instructors to design Pilates programmes that will help their clients feel better- reducing daily aches and chronic pain, heal and prevent injuries, and enhance athletic performance.

Here’s a few of the ways Pilates can help rehab injuries and decrease or completely eliminate chronic pain:

Strengthening your core muscles is key to improving daily life activities and athletics- core muscles are much more than simply your abdominals. Your core muscles include the diaphragm, glutes, deep muscles around the spine and pelvic floor, and the transversus abdominus. No matter if you’re sitting at a desk all day or performing powerful athletic movements, strengthening your core will help your postural muscles support you, decreasing spinal load and reducing back pain- as well as lowering chance of injury.


Proper alignment is important for every body- anytime you perform movements using poor alignment your chances of injury goes up. This goes for daily movements like walking to the store, doing laundry, and picking up your kids, as well as athletic movements like running, cycling and sports. When your body is properly aligned you will feel better, perform better and even look better. Strength and proper movements learned from Pilates sessions allows your muscles to support your body in a more aligned position outside the studio- you’ll learn that even minor adjustments in hip and neck positions make a huge difference in your activities!

Body Awareness and Control- Pilates is low impact, making it a very safe exercise for people with injuries or arthritis. Clients are able to strengthen muscles, joints and enjoy a full body workout at a challenging level without experiencing pain. This is due to Pilates emphasis on control and body awareness- by improving focus on the body and it’s movements injured clients will feel much more confident and empowered as they learn how to move and position themselves in ways that don’t hurt.

With a Polestar instructor, Pilates is an incredibly safe and effective form of exercise to practice when injured or looking to remain injury free.
