Another year older, and my athletic body has naturally slowed down, and when I would try to do my usual routine, I would injure my back, and my worn knees. My chiropractor told me to try pilates using mat only. So, I searched You Tube and found The Girl with the Pilate Mat! Yay, Rachel is a really good instructor, and the instructions have really helped me so that i can do my regular daily activities because the tightness in hips, lower back and knees are gently stretched out! Thanks Rachel! ♦

I love how your are so Calm when you Speak, it so Relaxing.

@TheGirlWithThePilatesMat 9 ай бұрын

The pilates will both stretch and strengthen your hips, we focus on mobility and control in movement which is why it is so helpful for hip and back pain. The more you strengthen all the core muscles, the better the pian relief I have found. Keep up the great work xx 🤗
