Pilates not only works the muscles in your core but also your piriformis and gluteal muscles which all aid in supporting your spine. The gluteal muscles are the 3 muscles which originate from the ilium and sacrum and insert into the femur. The piriformis muscle is deep below your bottom. Kate is assisting Ashley with stretching both her piriformis and gluteal muscles on the #balancedbodyreformer. Due to Ashley’s height, this glute stretch was performed on the low bar (lowest setting of the foot bar) with 1 blue spring. With hips square and leg on the bar, Ashley is placing her palms flat on the carriage and hooking her thumbs for stability. She then presses the carriage out resulting in a deeper stretch for her back. #pilates #pointlomapilates #sandiego #stretching #kidsfitness #kidsdopilates #scoliosis #spinehealth #pilatezenergy #pilateslover
