Pilates and Sliding Hiatal Hernia

tlgoblue

Does anyone have any information on this? I have a sliding hiatal hernia and was hoping Pilates would strengthen my core and prevent the very painful slide. Unfortunately, sometimes the Pilates itself causes just enough strain to cause it to slide and pop. Would love to get some guidance on which exercises I should avoid and which are safe and beneficial to containing the hernia.

Thanks!

Surgery before it really causes problems. You can't fix a hernia with exercise.

I would speak to your doctor about this, from what I read some exercises can cause it to become worse - please speak to your doctor before doing anything so you don't injure yourself worse.
