Implication

Comparative study shows Pilates training improves pain and quality of life in chronic low back pain individuals, indicating therapeutic benefits.

Key Points

  • This study aims to explore the effects of Pilates exercises on muscle viscoelasticity and health-related outcomes in individuals with chronic low back pain.
  • Conducted in a private clinic with a total of 52 participants.
  • Pilates-based exercises were performed 2 days a week over 4 weeks.
  • Evaluated muscle viscoelastic properties, pain intensity, and quality of life using established measures.
  • No significant improvements in muscle tone and stiffness were observed (p > 0.05).
  • Significant reductions in pain intensity (p = 0.001) and improvements in sleep quality (p = 0.004) were noted.
  • Quality of life significantly improved (p = 0.019) and disability levels decreased (p = 0.003) after Pilates training.
