Episode 169

169. Why stability is not a useful word in Pilates, with Raphael Bender

We talk about stability a lot but when you look closely it’s not possible to define the word in relation to back pain and injury.

Resources mentioned in the episode:

  • People who receive spinal stabilization exercises improvement in pain is unrelated to changes in TrA timing here
  • When researchers assess people with LBP for spinal stability, and give specific stabilization exercises only to people who are “unstable” they don’t experience better outcomes than unmatched exercise where the people were not ’unstable” here
