Interesting article in The Times about the benefits of Pilates rather than painkillers for bad backs following the NICE recommendations:
“"Patients with back pain should consider an exercise programme to help them manage their condition, eg aerobic exercises, strengthening/stretching exercises, pilates, yoga, core-stability exercises.
