<div align="left"><strong>Pilates and Gardening:  The Lumbar Spine</strong></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>
<p><strong>By Shane Belau</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;<br />
It&#8217;s spring and the gardener in you has been waiting all winter to get those hands in the dirt.  Gardening is a great form of exercise as you are using your legs, back, abdominals and arms to move that dirt, dig up those plants, and prune those bushes.  Like any form of exercise, gardeners need to be mindful of using good alignment and physical form when tackling yard work.  Because it is warming up and the soil is workable you may be tempted to everything in one weekend but if you go slowly and do a little bit at a time there will be much less risk of injury.<br />
In this first installment of Pilates and Gardening, we are going to address the low back, or the lumbar spine.  Many gardeners complain of low back pain after a hard day&#8217;s work of weeding or digging.  While these tasks potentially require a lot of bending over, many gardeners do not realize that leg strength and flexibility (or lack of) can contribute to the over all health of your low spine.  If there is a lack of flexibility in the hamstrings and the hip joints then the action of bending over and flexing the spine places a lot more stress on the discs and muscles of the lumbar area.  In addition to poor function of the legs and hips, the deeper stabilizers of the back and the abdominal muscles may not be working in concert to support your body in a flexed position.<br />
Here are some tips to help you with better alignment as you garden. Of course, if you are experiencing chronic pain you should consult your doctor and physical therapist.  First off, you want to start flexing at your hip joints, knees, and ankles instead of always curving your spine to bend or get closer to the ground.  This way you will be using your legs to support your upper body.  Start practicing with a small squat:  with even weight over your feet, bend at the hip joints and knees until your spine and your lower legs are at the same angle. Keep your spine straight and abdominal muscles active for support and make sure your gluteal and quadriceps muscles are engaged. Practice alternating standing and squatting, keeping all of those muscles engaged.<br />
Sometimes, gardening requires you to get into awkward positions like digging up a stubborn bush, for example.  If you need to bend lower, try placing one foot in front of the other in a wider stance. This will allow you to get lower toward the ground and still keep your spine in as good alignment as possible.  If you do find that you have to bend a little bit, make sure you have initiated the sequence of squatting, keep your abdominals active, and keep your lumbar spine in a good neutral position as long as possible.<br />
I hope this gets you started on a wonderful and injury free gardening season.  Happy planting!</p>

<p align="center">FOR SALE</p>
<p>Element Pilates Studio, a well-established successful and profitable Pilates Studio in the thriving Pike/Pine corridor on Capitol Hill in Seattle, WA.  With very low overhead and a devoted clientele, this studio is ideal for someone wanting to hit the ground running.  The current owner has kept the studio small and intimate with two other instructors and a focus on private, semi-private and small group classes.  There is, however potential and demand for significant growth and expansion.  The sale of this studio includes an introduction to the client list, STOTT equipment valued over $17,500.00, a one-year lease with the option to renew, and the opportunity for the current owner to help in transitioning clients over to new proprietor.</p>
<p>Owner is motivated to sell the studio to a serious buyer.  Marketing and partnering with other health oriented businesses in the area has not been fully maximized. There is great potential given the strategic location to First Hill medical and rehab facilities, as well as clinics downtown. Great opportunity for a Pilates instructor or entrepreneur who desires flexibility and the independence of owning their own business with incredible future growth potential.</p>
<p>The studio is a beautiful, loft-like and light-filled space with floor to ceiling windows opening to a SW exposure that allows for natural lighting all day and evening.  Inside is a separate, lovely treatment room perfect for massage, or other services.  Element is situated on trendy Pike street on Capitol Hill, just two minutes from downtown Seattle. Housed in a historic building with 8 Limbs Yoga and Halo Dance Hall – this location filled with great energy and devoted to movement.</p>
<p>The studio is entirely equipped with STOTT Pilates Equipment: Three Reformers with Boxes, poles and platform extenders, One Rehab Reformer with a Vertical Frame (and a mat converter) with Xtra-long Box, One Full Cadillac, One Chair, Arc Barrels and a Spine Corrector.</p>
<p>Other small equipment includes: 4 BOSU’s, Wedges, Mini-Fit Balls, Foam Rollers, Thera-Bands, etc…</p>
<p>Owner is selling to pursue other interests.  A transitional period of training is negotiable along with the possibility of the owner staying on as an instructor in a very reduced capacity.</p>
