Beyond "Tech Neck": How to Strengthen (Not Fear) Forward Head Posture
Forward head posture—aka “tech neck”—has become a modern norm, but that doesn’t mean it’s something to fear. In this article, we explore what’s really happening in the spine, why posture alone isn’t the villain, and how strengthening key muscles (not just stretching) can help you feel better in your body. With science-backed guidance and practical movement strategies, you’ll learn how to build strength, mobility, and resilience—no fear-mongering required.
Strengthen, Don’t Stretch (Again): Rethinking Plantarfasciitis Rehab
Struggling with stubborn heel pain? Plantarfasciitis is one of the most common foot injuries—and one of the most misunderstood. In this article, we break down what the plantar fascia is, why it gets irritated, and the most effective, evidence-based strategies for long-term recovery. From Pilates-based loading to targeted rehab exercises, discover how to treat plantarfasciitis by building strength from the ground up.
Strengthen, Don’t Stretch: Debunking the Myth of "Bad" Hip Flexors
In this article, we debunk the common myth that hip flexors are "bad" or should be avoided during exercise. Instead of over-stretching tight-feeling hip flexors, the focus should be on strengthening them for improved movement, stability, and injury prevention. We dive into the anatomy of the hip flexors, highlight examples of athletes who rely on them for peak performance, and share practical exercises—including Pilates movements like Teaser and Double Leg Lowers—to help strengthen these essential muscles. Plus, for those looking to explore hip flexor function in greater depth, check out our Anatomy Foundations course in SPRING.’s on-demand library.
Why Pilates Instructors Should Embrace Strength Training (Yes, Even Heavy Lifting!)
Pilates is often associated with controlled, bodyweight movements—but let’s be real, life isn’t all subtle engagements and gentle stretches. Sometimes, you need to lift heavy things (kids, groceries, suitcases, or all of the above at once). Strength training, particularly progressive overload, is key to building resilience, improving bone density, and supporting functional movement. At SPRING. Movement, we believe you can’t go wrong getting strong. Whether it’s adding an extra spring on the Reformer or picking up a kettlebell, it’s time to embrace resistance and help clients move through life with confidence.
