I couldn't sleep or run or sit up at my computer.  I tried many forms of yoga and stretching, which helped a little.  One day at a friends birthday I was having casual conversation with a gentleman named Bruno, and told him about my back pain.   He told me that he ran a local Pilate Studio named The Body Alchemist and I to come in that week.I had heard about Pilate workouts before but never tried it.  Let me just say this, I'm in good shape, and work out a lot, but Bruno rocked me, with out even trying.  Bruno had me start by lying on my back and perform a few simple exercises . Immediately he could see and tell me exactly where I hold my stress, which muscles where weak, unbalanced and tight. Bruno's understanding of anatomy was very educational and helped me to understand why I was doing the exercises, and what was going on in my body while I was doing them.I never realized how many muscles I was ignoring in my workouts, and how often I was cheating, or using other muscles to compensate for my weak ones.After my first session I started feeling relief in my lower back, and soreness in muscles I didn't even know existed.   After 3 sessions my back pain was gone completely.  I sleep well, can run stronger and longer, and see changes in my posture and physique.I've now gone for about 4 months once a week  and I love it.  I highly recommend The Body Alchemist for anyone with any physical, muscle or joint pain.  The entire staff is amazing and you'll feel stronger, younger and just all around awesome.","rating":5,"date_published":"2009-21-11"}]}
