Managing back pain isn’t about avoiding movement — it’s about moving smarter.
Our @sportsandspinalkawana physiotherapist Georgia and exercise physiologist Tenikka are demonstrating how we modify Pilates reformer exercises to suit different stages of back pain recovery.
From acute flare-ups to long-term rehab, we use progressions and regressions to safely load the spine, activate stabilising muscles, and rebuild functional movement patterns.
No two backs are the same — and your exercise program shouldn’t be either. Whether we’re focusing on core control, spinal mobility, or graded exposure to load, your plan is tailored to your individual presentation, goals, and pain response.
Because the best results come from individualised care — not cookie-cutter plans.
Your body, your pace, your plan ✅
