The first thing to do to make a successful compensation claim for back injury is to determine the type and extent of injury, whether it is temporary or lasting with life-long consequences.
The various types of back injuries are spinal cord injuries which can result in loss of motion and/or feeling in the lower body, paralysis, slipped disc or compression fractures where the bones of the spinal cord break due to severe trauma. Age is also a major factor as it may take longer for an older person to recover.

The Pilates instructor usually first meets with his or her client so that the both of them can assess what is going on either in terms of postural instability and/or muscle imbalance. Stretching simply concentrates on the different parts of the body or muscle groups and stretches them out for a certain number of repetitions.
