Patient Win: Conquering the Reformer in San Rafael

A local Marin County client came to us because they were experiencing a sharp, localized pinch in their lower back every time they used the Reformer at their Pilates studio. They had stopped going entirely and felt their fitness slipping away.

The Assessment

During our concierge sessions, we didn't just look at their back; we looked at their mechanics. We simulated the specific movements they struggled with in class.

We found that their core was strong, but their control was lacking. Whenever they pushed out on the Reformer carriage, they lost their pelvic alignment, forcing their lower back to absorb all the resistance.

The Win

Through our Anti-Fragile Intensive, we spent our sessions retraining their motor sequencing. We taught them how to engage their deep core to stabilize the pelvis before initiating movement. Armed with this new mechanical control, they successfully returned to their San Rafael studio last week and completed a full, high-intensity class with zero pain.
