Pilates today. I get cheap classes as a student at the local WEA centre.

It was a 1 hour class and I enjoyed it.

I hurt everywhere after last night so i like that I had something relatively easy to do.

The ideas are interesting and I'm looking forward to the next class - the one which sticks out the most istrying to keep the scapula relaxed and not raising them to breathe but concentrating on allowing the rib cage to expand sideways.

This is something I want to focus on a bit because the point where I tend to feel the most pain in my back feels like it is around where muscles between the scapula and the spine muscles join the spine.

I KNOW the lower back and psoas is involved in causing pain but perhaps the scapula being raised could be part of the problem or just inhibit things loosening up the way they should.
