When he first came to us, he was trying private Pilates lessons as a last resort, only after being told that he would need spinal surgery. In his 70's, he has arthritis, spinal stenosis and osteoporosis.
I started working with Reed in August of 2018. After 8 sessions he left for his annual winter trip, but in those 8 sessions, we were able to accomplish a lot. So, I gave him a homework plan to stick-to while he was away. He found that being consistent with his personal practice exercises gave him temporary relief from back pain. Overtime he's noticed postural improvements and less pain overall.
He has never done a backbend like this before.
THIS IS
Soon enough, he will be off again for the winter and then we will pick it back up in the spring.
