Wed night Pilates class

This afternoon I went to a new chiropractor for the first time, who was recruiting patients at a race last Sunday, because I was told he wouldn’t do manipulation but use other gentle method. I let them know I had several occurrences of severe vertigo when I received spinal adjustment from my previous chiropractor. I was told there were 200+ chiropractic methods, and adjustment/manipulation was not the only way. This new doctor did an exam on me today, and one of his findings was that my spines lost a curve.

Having this information in mind, I went to the Pilates class, and tried not to straight my spine so much. I was always straightening my spine because that’s what I was told to protect my back by the Pilates instructor. Instead, today I tried to arch more. Then, what a surprise, I was able to do sit-ups for the first time ever since I started Pilates more than 1 year and 4 months ago. And it was rather easy. I was surprised. Until today, I was straightening my back, crunching the low ab very hard, and I couldn’t raise at all. And yet, the new chiropractor said I had no core muscles at all. I suspect I was doing things completely wrong, and not even building my core. There’s always room to learn.
