I was wondering how soon a new mom can use a reformer after having a c-section. Diastasis recti is not detected either. Are there any restrictions?

Thanks you.

I had another question re: “Any abdominal exercise that requires full flexion of the trunk away from the mat will always rely heavily on the outer layer rectus abdominis,”

I just got up off of my office floor after trying to isolate obliques in a roll up, and feel like I can actually emphasize flexion with the obliques if I put the intention there. I understand rectus is going to do a huge amount of the work, but could the degree of any muscle use be entirely dependent upon the knowledge and body awareness of the individual?

Thanks so much for your research. I look forward to hearing more from you as you complete more studies. Keep up the good work!

Most of the time when I am trying to get someone to activate TA they immediately fire into obliques. We attempt to work all abdonminal muscles to a balanced degree. I find it difficult to believe that overtraining the TA is such an issue. I believe it can be overtrained, as any muscle could be. But, how many people have you seen with an overtrained TA? This is an honest question. I have never experienced that as an issue. Only the opposite.

Joseph Pilates thought that the spine should be completely straight, like a plump line, so he taught Navel to Spine, Spine to Mat. Obviously, we know today that if the spine was completely straight, we couldn't stand. So, very few teachers still teach spine to mat. (I think some Classically trained teachers in NYC do, but only those who insist on following Joseph Pilates teachings to the letter. ) However, some clients with extremely weak abdominals or excessive lumbar lordosis need to bring their lumbar spine more toward the mat when engaging the TVA to begin protect the spine while building strength. As they build abdominal strength, the abs should be worked in a neutral pelvis/spine position.
