Sissel Oov Pilates Tool

You might not realise it, but you are pretty much always using your core muscles, the only time they stop working are when you lie down. It’s your core that holds you up at your desk, it’s your core that keeps you up-right when you’re walking. It also protects your spine which affects your whole posture.

Having a stronger core can reduce improve all the things mentioned above to reduce aches and pains naturally to take away the need for any medication.

So how do you strengthen your core?

Pilates, when performed correctly, is a really fun and effective way of strengthening your core but some of the moves can be difficult to do properly which can leave you wasting your time. That is why Oov Pilates Tool was developed by Australian Osteopath and Neuroscientist Daniel Vladeta. 

The Oov is a multi-discipline tool that can be utilised in Pilates, fitness, yoga and rehabilitation

The ergonomic shape of the Oov is designed to match the curves of the spine to make it comfortable and safe to use. When using the Oov, the shape causes instability stimulates and activates the muscular structures within the core.  The rounded shape of the Oov gently activates the deep stabilizing muscles and promotes the stretching of the spinal column.  This allows good mobilization of the intervertebral discs. This active response by the user helps achieve a ‘neutral spine’, a widely used concept in the treatment and assessment of spinal conditions.

From stretching to core strengthening to rehabilitation or for relaxation purposes, the Oov can be utilised with significant benefits for spinal health. The Oov can be readily applied in the fields of fitness, yoga, Pilates, physiotherapy, osteopathy, chiropractic’s, even massage and stress relief.

Specific exercises and stretches have already been developed with the help of medical practitioners and trainers to address different body types, patterns, and ailments. To help guide you and progress you Oov have also developed an app called ‘The Movement Programme’ which uses easy to follow videos to take you through workouts to ensure you are working correctly or just a quick search in YouTube will bring you an infinite supply of workouts and guides
