Shownotes
Why are we still hanging on to the idea of neutral spine in the Pilates world? It's not even part of Pilates, and it's certainly not science-based. Plus, it's just plain illogical.
Resources mentioned in the episode:
- You can bias lower abs from upper abs by doing posterior pelvic tilt vs ab curl here
- People with LBP lift with LESS flexion in their lumbar spine here
- There was low-quality evidence that greater lumbar spine flexion during lifting was not a risk factor for LBP onset/persistence or a differentiator of people with and without LBP here
- Spine posture in general has not been shown to be a causal factor in LBP according to a systematic review of systematic reviews in 2020 here
