The 6 Principles of APPI Pilates
Ever wondered why we do this exercise in Pilates?? We are working a group of muscles called the anterior oblique sling. These muscles are joined by thick connective tissue called fascia to help keep our pelvis stable (alongside the adductor muscles) when we are walking.
The demands on the AOS are great in multi-directional sports such as tennis, soccer, football, basketball, rugby and hockey. In such sporting environments, the AOS must not only contribute to accelerating the body, but also to rotating and decelerating it during the change of direction. Problems with the AOS have been linked with lower back pain, groin strains and abdominal strains! Of course there is always be some evidence to support this and some to dismiss however in practice I have seen how retraining these sling can really help in the rehab process!
For more detail and to reference some of this information here is a link worth reading: https://www.physio-pedia.com/Anatomy_Slings_and_Their_Relationship_to_Low_Back_Pain

So gravel riding is fun!
Perhaps we will focus on hip extension, glute sand upper back posture to help counteract hours on the bike, hours at the desk or even just the effects of gravity over time!
