Pilates is one of the forms of exercise that is often recommended for people with bad backs. I've used both Alexander and Feldenkreis techniques in the past (just random exercises that work for me). Seems to help minimise stress on joints if you use your body in the right way.

Can you expand the question. I have 35 years plus of Alexander Technique and engage in T'ai Chi activities. Do not know pilates, but can relate exercise to Alexander Technique.

Look forward to your detailed questions.
