Neck and
shoulder problems
Release tension
in neck and shoulder
Neck and shoulder problems, who hasn’t experienced it: an unpleasant pulling and tugging sensation in the neck and shoulders that quickly turns into tension headaches. Working at a computer for hours on end, the constant strain of work, everyday stress, lack of exercise and weak back muscles leave their mark and often manifest themselves as painful tension in the neck and shoulder area.
Over a long period of time, tension can lead to tiredness and poor concentration, which can have a huge impact on quality of life. A sustainable and effective solution is the targeted development of the strained muscles in combination with relaxation exercises. Pilates is the perfect method to get neck and shoulder problems under control in the long term.
Relaxation for neck
and shoulders: An effective solution
Gentle but effective and isolated Pilates exercises are used to strengthen the stressed muscle groups and at the same time integrated with the help of small equipment such as the foam roller or fascia balls to release tension and blockages. Pilates training not only covers the neck and shoulder area, but always includes the entire body. Stabilizing the core muscles in particular plays a decisive role in relieving the strain on the neck and shoulders.
Tower Unit classes are the perfect support for this. As one of the most challenging and effective pieces of Pilates equipment, the Tower Unit not only improves and corrects the entire posture, but also activates the musculoskeletal system through controlled Pilates sequences with a variety of impulses.
The centre of the
exercises: Breathing
and mindfulness
At the beginning of a Pilates class, the focus is on breathing. The powerhouse is activated, consisting of the deep-lying straight and oblique abdominal muscles, the pelvic floor and the diaphragm. These muscle groups are connected to the spine and are important for an upright and stable posture. Activating deep breathing can already lead to relaxation of the strained neck and shoulder areas. While performing the Pilates exercises, you always remain connected to the breathing technique.

mental balance:
