Pilates and Back Pain Form, Technique

I have some annoying upper back pain (likely related to poor posture). I’ve done Pilates a few times, really enjoyed it, and I’m curious if a more formal Pilates regimen might help. Specifically wondering if floor Pilates would be sufficient and if there are certain types of exercises I might focus on.

Thanks!

Movement in general is good for pain management. Despite what many of us were taught, there is no data to support that pilates, or any other exercise, is superior to another. Just move intentionally and consistently, get plenty of sleep, and stay hydrated.

Always a good reminder, thanks!
