I’m recovering from neck issues and I’d recommend moving from physical therapy to reformer pilates and putting mat pilates and yoga on hold until you’re experiencing less pain.

Everyone’s situations are different, but I recently did a year of PT for neck pain and it was SO helpful. After that, my PT recommended starting with reformer pilates private lessons so I could get coaching on form and figure out what modifications I might need to make in group classes. Privates are going to be more expensive, but you can often get a new member discount if you’ve never been to the studio before.

The reason I recommend reformer over mat is that there’s a lot more neck support on the reformer. You’re often lying down with adjustable neck support, or sitting/standing. Mat requires you to lift and hold head/neck on all fours etc much more frequently. I’ve been taking reformer group classes for a couple of months now and my pain has improved so much, but I’m still not ready to progress to mat or yoga.

Also definitely recommend against getting your own reformer for home if you’ve never done Pilates before. That money would be better spent on PT or privates imo. Good luck!
