The Core Exercises That Actually Support Your Back

If you have back pain, doing more stretching or random ab exercises is not the answer.

Most people need better core control and stability — not more intensity.

Here’s the simple progression we use in Pilates to support your spine safely and effectively.

1. Toe Taps – Start With Control

Toe taps are the foundation. They teach you how to stabilize your pelvis and spine without strain.

• Keep your lower back stable
• Move slowly and with control
• Only lower the leg as far as you can maintain alignment

This is where most people should begin.
