Pilates Chair Lower Body Workout Challenge
If you don't have a Pilates chair, as many don't, you might enjoy the inner thigh focus series on the mat. It too will work your core and lower body quite well.

Hi Marguerite,
I am not sure if this is the right place to ask my question but I will give it a try. Will the Pilates chair workout help to me to recover from my sciatica problems?
Thanks,
Mark
Hi Mark,
The Pilates chair could become part of an overall recovery program for someone with sciatica but it’s not where one would start — especially not on ones own. I suggest you read this article: How Pilates Can Help Sciatica which is an interview I did with Dr. Brent Anderson of Polestar Pilates. I think it will give you a lot of insight into how to approach working with sciatica. There are also exercise suggestions there.
