Pilates for Lower Back Pain: Why Nashville Turns to SOMOS
Lower back pain affects nearly 80% of adults at some point in their lives. Whether it’s from long hours at a desk, poor posture, or athletic overuse, the discomfort can hold you back from living fully. At SOMOS Pilates Nashville, we specialize in using Pilates to restore balance, strengthen your core, and bring long-term relief — without high-impact strain.

What Causes Lower Back Pain?
Common causes include:
Weak core muscles
Poor posture from desk work
Muscle imbalances or tight hips
Overuse from sports or repetitive movement
Pregnancy and postpartum changes
These issues can create instability in the spine — leading to pain and recurring injury.
How Pilates Strengthens and Supports Your Spine
Pilates directly addresses the root causes of back pain:
Core activation: Engages deep abdominal muscles that stabilize your spine.
Postural alignment: Restores balance and teaches proper body mechanics.
Flexibility + mobility: Reduces tension in hips and hamstrings that pull on the lower back.
Low-impact movement: Safe for people who need strengthening without strain.
At SOMOS, our athletic reformer approach goes beyond mat Pilates by adding resistance training and mobility work — designed to be both therapeutic and challenging.
