Why Office Workers Need Pilates

pilates, office workers

Many people use Pilates to tone up and look their best, but it is also a great way to conquer pain. For those who work in offices, however, Pilates can be especially helpful. If you spend most of your time at a desk, this blog is for you!

It’s well known that office work comes with some perks, but it can also be bad for your health! Reports have shown that sitting in front of your computer all day takes a toll on your health. In fact, experts say it’s important to take “movement breaks” to negate some of the negative impact. But there’s more you can do if you’re looking to break out of the sedentary lifestyle of an office worker – Pilates!

Pilates helps you align your spine and strengthens your neck and shoulders. This can help minimize the back pain office workers have due to sitting at their desk all day. It can also help reduce neck pain by releasing muscle tension and building up strength. For those who talk on the phone, or have a non-ergonomic desk set-up, this can be especially important.

Pilates is also a great way to strengthen your core, which improves your overall posture. This can be important for office workers since many slump over a desk most of the day. And even after the day is done, that poor posture follows you, creating muscle tension and pain that lasts long after you clock out.

And last, but not least, is the overall stress reduction that comes from regular Pilates practice. If you tend to carry a lot of stress around and suffer from tension headaches or general muscle tension, Pilates is the answer. Fortunately, the benefits from Pilates are long-lasting, so you can expect to feel better during your workday thanks to the time you spend in the studio.

As you can see, Pilates has plenty to offer office workers! So, if you’re stuck inside an office all day and you’re tired of muscle stress and pain, give Pilates a try!

  • Why MELT?
  • Five years ago I was driving home from Branson and saw the advertisement for Everybody Pilates on a billboard. I was 79 years old, diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, and had tried several different exercise programs only to find myself injured and unable to continue.. I supposed I wasn’t suited for Pilates but I called anyway. I was surprised to find that Heather suggested an evaluative visit.

    I came to the studio, bringing my aging and aching body. Heather determined she could work with me, and I’ve been going there ever since.

    When people ask me why I go to Pilates, I usually answer that I like being stronger and pain-free. On my list of budget priorities the first two are food and shelter. The third is Pilates. As far as I’m concerned Pilates is a necessity.

    Besides being a delightful person Heather is knowledgeable and carefully attentive to my individual needs.

  • I have been attending classes twice a week at Everybody Pilates for over two years. What started as something that my wife and I could do together has turned into a necessity for me. I have noticed a dramatic improvement in my core strength, balance, and flexibility. Denise is a great motivator, and does an outstanding job of mixing things up. So, we’re always learning something new. I am a firm believer in the benefits of Pilates, and highly recommend Everybody Pilates.

  • I was introduced to Everybody Pilates by my daughter 10 years ago when I moved to the Springfield area. I have been in classes there once or twice a week ever since. – Pilates is wonderful exercise that leaves you feeling strong and flexible. I feel much stronger, with better balance and greater flexibility, than I did 10 years ago. That’s saying a lot. I love the group classes but, when I had to have surgery a few years ago, Heather and Denise were able to provide private classes geared to my capabilities until I could work my way back. I love having those options available to me. I’m not an avid exerciser. Left to my own devices, I can find many reasons not to exercise. Knowing that Heather or Denise were expecting me to be at class at a certain time was great incentive to me to actually go to class. I need that little push to make sure I get the exercise I know I need.

  • Within 10 days of using the MELT Method, I was able to stop taking Tramadol, a pain medicine that I’ve been taking since 2008! My next goal is to get off of the anti-inflammatory drug that is eating away at the lining of my stomach. I’ve been dealing with foot pain since 2004. I had surgery in 2008 to fuse two joints in my left foot, 2015, doctors recommend 3 joint fusion on right foot – not going to do it! The majority of my joints in both feet are bone-on-bone. Started using the MELT Method on 3/19. I have less pain, less tightness, I can feel more of my foot on the floor. I can work all day, and come home and do yard work, which I could have never done before using the MELT Method!
