Pilates for Individuals with SCI
Unlike typical weight training, Pilates training (Matwork and equipment-based exercise) focuses on facilitating the smaller stabilizing muscles. These smaller muscles are necessary in order to restore normal function. The resistance is kept low enough for the correct muscles to activate without overworking larger muscle groups, thus preventing overuse injuries, especially at the neck and shoulders, an area in constant use for individuals with SCI.
