Pilates - How many times a week for?
I want to start doing Pilates every week because I have bulging discs and facet joint problems. I know pilates is supposed to be very rehabilitative, so I just got a new AeroPilates Reformer.
How many times a week should I do it (along with weightlifting and kettlebells, cardio, etc. - to help heal my spine?
Anyone here with a story they'd like to share?
Also, it's been a long time since I've read up on therapy for disc bulges. Anyone, go to the doctor lately and what sort of exercises or therapy did they have you do to heal your discs?
Of course, I realize this is opinions and experiences only and that it is not "medical advice" so don't be afraid to add your 2 cents. I've been to many doctors, physical therapists and massotherapists over the years and it's amazing how little they actually really know about healing thru exercise. No offense to anyone in that field ....but at least the ones I've been to only tell me, if it hurts don't do it. It's not quite that simple though.
What can I do with my daily exercise to improve my condition? When I went for PT in the past, all they had me do is exercises like I do at home when lifting, but with a resistance band!
