This week I sat down with Ali Asid, a friend and former work colleague, to talk all things reformer Pilates and injury prevention. Ali is a Sports Therapist specialising in treating injuries using a holistic solution. What does that mean? It means looking at injuries differently to how people traditionally look at them. Rather than focusing on the symptom, "my back hurts", and treating the back, he looks at what has a caused the back pain in the first place. This could be poor posture, sitting for too long, weak or inactive muscles elsewhere in the body. As I always say, you are what you do all the time not what you do some to the time. If you spend most of your time sitting, whether that be in front of a laptop, computer, TV or in a car, chances are you are not sitting with any awareness of posture. Over time, the body compensates and eventually this can manifest itself as pain, and it’s usually the back that has to take the punishment, through not fault of its own.

We talk about what reformer Pilates is, and why it is so good at helping those that want to rehabilitate from injuries but also how it can make you stronger and help your body move the way it is supposed to. Think of it like an M.O.T test for your car (for my friends outside the UK this is an annual inspection to any vehicle you own. It is mandatory by law).

Currently Ali is a reformer Pilates instructor at Chilli Pilates in Hertfordshire. He uses his deep understanding of anatomy to help people simply move better and a by-product of that is often the easing of pain.
