Neck pain affects about 70% of us at some time in our lives. When specialists and imaging are unable to identify a specific identifiable cause for your symptoms, you are usually considered to be suffering from what is called mechanical neck pain (aka “idiopathic” meaning we don’t know why….). A recent study in 2018 into the effectiveness of Pilates in the treatment of chronic mechanical neck pain concluded that Pilates is an effective and safe treatment with no adverse effects.
