1. To Add Support to the Spine
The Pilates C-Shaper is a product designed for Pilates exercises, poses and movements that will give need support to the spine. It's easy to use and easy to bring with you to your Pilates class or use at home without taking up much storage room when not in use. The design of the Pilates C-Shaper resembles that of a half circle or half moon. It's about 30 inches long, 16 inches in height and 13 inches in width. From the top point to the low point, there is the cut shape of the half circle. This is where the Pilates participant sits so the extra padding the Pilates C-Shaper provides protects the spine and lower lumbar of the spine.
2. Using Cushion Comfort
Going through the Pilates class, there are many poses that will require the participant to raise both arms and legs and hold in this position. When both arms and legs are raised, this pushes the lower spine into the surface that it is resting on. Some Pilates students don't get enough support from a Pilates mat and certainly not on a hard floor surface. The Pilates C-Shaper adds comfort, support and cushion to enable the Pilates participant to do more without risking injury to their spine.
3. Strengthen the Back With Pilates
Using the Pilates C-Shaper provides a great deal of benefit to those doing Pilates that tend to have weak back muscles. For those individuals and many others, the Pilates C-Shaper provides the correct support to align the body properly so they benefit more from the Pilates poses and exercises.
4. Pregnant Women Gain Needed Back Support
Pregnant women, over-weight people or individuals that have had past back injuries benefit from using the Pilates C-Shaper. Pregnant women should always check with their doctor before participating in Pilates or any other exercise program. With a doctor's approval, the Pilates C-Shaper adds support to the back that's needed for individuals rehabilitating from a back injury, so they are able to participate with assistance or mild modification. In addition, the Pilates C-Shaper helps support abdominal muscles, the lumbar area and the pelvic area. Along with supporting areas of the body, the Pilates C-Shaper helps to reduce shoulder and neck strain by taking the pressure off the back.
