People generally don’t pay much attention to spinal position (neutral spine versus imprinted), but when you are dealing with lower back pain, especially that gripping lower back feeling, knowing the difference can be really beneficial and be the thing that helps you exercise without adding to the tightness.
I like to teach using the imprinted spinal position for people who are new to Pilates or are looking to improve that grippy lower back, almost as a tool to help you go from 0% abdominals switched on, to 100% switched on, and then your body can begin to find that middle ground!
This is all in more detail within my 12-week program, The Better Back Method which is available to sign up to with a huge launch discount before the end of September!
