Brief summary: This study was planned to investigate whether reformer pilates exercises, which are recommended for the development and maintenance of well-being in musculoskeletal problems associated with low back, neck and back pain, change the pain perceptions of patients with chronic musculoskeletal diseases by improving the mind-body relationship.

Detailed description: Although many symptoms are observed in musculoskeletal system disorders, pain which progresses gradually and even progresses to the point of causing incapacity for work is the most common. Although musculoskeletal system disorders indicate a very broad concept, it is also observed that low back, neck and back pain are in the first rank in studies conducted worldwide and in our country .Pilates training plays an important role in regaining and maintaining muscle strength, flexibility, endurance and functioning of proprioceptive mechanisms. Although there are many physical activity programmes, Pilates has become an increasingly widespread and recommended physical exercise method worldwide in recent years. The Pilates method is an exercise concept established by Joseph H Pilates in the early 1900s and currently applied to both sick and healthy individuals. Exercises can be performed on a mat and special equipment such as Cadillac, Reformer and Wundachair are also used. Pilates training plays an important role in regaining and maintaining muscle strength, flexibility, endurance and functioning of proprioceptive mechanisms. Therefore, although Pilates exercises are not designed to reduce body weight, they are a good option for sedentary, overweight and obese people who have difficulty in performing traditional exercises .

This study was planned to investigate whether reformer pilates exercises, which are recommended for the development and maintenance of well-being in musculoskeletal problems associated with low back, neck and back pain, change the pain perceptions of patients with chronic musculoskeletal diseases by improving the mind-body relationship.
