It is not only one suffering the consequences of traumatic injury that finds themselves physically limited in a sudden and dramatic fashion. Illnesses that occur for many during middle age such as gallstones or cardiac arrest may find themselves physically limited after surgery or treatment. The duration of such limitations can be shortened if they seek private Pilates training.

This discipline is often confused with Yoga, but there are some vital differences between the two. A Yoga instructor, known as a Yogi, generally avoids the use of any resistance machinery in their workout. A true Yoga fanatic stays focused on a notion of utilizing their own body weight, along with gravity, as the only resistance needed during the routine.

Yoga is designed to work virtually every muscle in the body during a typical class. However, these trainers are providing an excellent workout for someone recovering from an injury. By focusing on strengthening and stretching the spine as well as abdominal, or core, many patients find they are once again able to do many of the activities they used to enjoy.

Many patients who are severely injured will experience a total loss of muscle tone during their healing process. For this reason, their trainers will begin their fitness regimen with movements that may only require them to tighten muscles in certain parts of the body. By holding abdominal muscles tight for twenty seconds, on up to two minutes or more, they can achieve the flat stomach they once thought was only a dream.

Spinal injuries and repetitive motion injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, are the most common ways that humans hurt themselves. For someone who has completely lost the use of half of their body, keeping the upper half strong is more than an improvement in lifestyle. When a patient allows themselves to become completely inactive, they can suffer painful bedsores, or even a loss of circulation that can be fatal.

Both disciplines teach the student or patient to focus on the connection between the body and the mind. Individuals who are healing from surgeries or health events in their lives are encouraged to pay close attention to how their moods impact their health. Most patients discover that when they take the time to see their trainer, and follow up with the exercises on their own, their moods improve along with their physical abilities.

When an individual undergoes a serious procedure that can take them more than six months to recover, they often begin to suffer chronic back and neck pain. It is also not uncommon for patients to develop a drug habit due to their postoperative pain medications. Studies consistently show that when such patients seek personalized physical therapy, their chronic pain melts away, and the mental benefits help them to overcome other bad habits.

Studies have been conducted regarding the matter of solo-fitness versus attending a class or seeing a physical therapist. For the average person, their chances of meeting fitness goals on their own are quite slim. For someone who may be on the verge of giving up on life completely, the need for them to make their PT appointments becomes even more dire, and their success even more vital to their very existence.
