Many of us know someone, or are someone, affected by chronic pain. For many people, pain becomes more than a physical sensation; it can feel like an ongoing, stressful mystery. Why does it linger even when imaging looks “normal”? Why do flare-ups happen seemingly out of nowhere?
While it may not completely erase chronic pain, pain neuroscience offers a clearer understanding of what pain actually is and why it behaves the way it does. More importantly, it provides tools that help the body and nervous system move toward recovery.
With this foundation in mind, we can look at how Pilates and Pain Neuroscience Education work together. When combined, they create an approach that supports more confident movement, builds strength, and encourages greater freedom in everyday life.

Below, we’ll explore why this muscle is so important, how it affects your core, and simple ways you can use your breath to improve the way you move.
Do you ever feel like your core isn’t as powerful as it should be? Are you experiencing pelvic pain, leaking, or a sudden urge to go while running, jumping, or training? Discover how pelvic floor therapy supports athletes by creating power, improving stability, preventing injury/leakage, and enhancing performance through targeted core strength and balance.
