Herniated Disc Workout.

A herniated disc is one of the most painful spinal conditions. Fortunately, it’s treatable and my Personalizing Pilates/herniated discs MP3 workout can help you whether you’re in the acute phase or if you want to avoid a flare-up.  

Many of the traditional Pilates exercises have to be avoided by folks who have a herniated disc because many of the classical abdominal strengthening exercises put the disc into a weakened position that can cause pain.  

My Personalizing Pilates/herniated disc MP3 workout includes exercises that are taught in either a neutral spine position or in spinal extension. These positions help to re-position the disc and strengthen the muscles around the vertebrae and disc so that pain is minimized or even eliminated. The Personalizing Pilates/herniated disc MP3 workout program includes three files. First is the free Ab Tutorial, which is a short MP3 workout that teaches you how to find and engage your deepest, supportive abdominal muscles. These muscles are important because they support the spine and the disc as well as flatten the tummy! 

In the MP3 /herniated disc workout, my voice guides you through a gentle Pilates workout that focuses on strengthening your abdominals as well as the small, supportive muscles of the lower back. For those of you who are visual learners, a photo-illustrated document is included that shows the exercises in the order in which they are taught. 

This workout was created by and is taught by Sherry Lowe-Bernie, owner of Personalizing Pilates.  Sherry is a PMA Certified Pilates Teacher, which means that you are working with one of the best Pilates teachers you can find.    Sherry has over ten years experience teaching Pilates and over twenty-five years teaching fitness.
