Pilates for Sensitive Wrists, Shoulders & Back | 45-Minute Foam Roller Workout
If traditional mat Pilates leaves your wrists, neck, shoulders, or back feeling sore or overworked, this full-body foam roller workout offers a more comfortable way to build strength.
Using the foam roller to improve mobility as well as challenge core stability, you'll strengthen your abdominals, hips, glutes, back, and shoulders while releasing tension and improving posture and coordination. Designed to reduce strain on the wrists, neck, shoulders, and lower back, this class is ideal for those who find mat Pilates uncomfortable. Modifications are offered throughout the workout so you can choose the variation that feels best for your body.
