Balance, Back Care, Core Training, and Pilates

Poor posture has a tremendous effect on our back’s long-term ability to perform necessary movements. Poor posture results in a lack of strength, flexibility, and combined with weak core strength, is a contributing factor to poor balance and back pain. Instruction in proper posture and exercises to strengthen key areas of the core can produce effective results and help reduce back pain. Pilates techniques combined with conventional methods can improve your posture, back strength, and balance. Join us for a class emphasizing balance, proper posture, core and back strength. Tuesday and Thursday’s at 9:00 AM at the Missoula Senior Citizens Center. All ages’ welcome.
