My GP is a strong advocate for pilates exercises for people who have lower back problems to strengthen the core muscles. He said he has seen very positive results with his patients for pain relief and better functionality. Also, it is low impact and he said it carries very low risk of causing more damage.

Has anyone here ever tried it for your lower back problems?

I am considering purchasing a pilates machine but they are expensive to get a decent one (around $500+) and I don't want to spend the money if it's not worth it.
 
I have tried it and it is awesome I find it seems to strech and strenghen ou in all the right ways. I find that anything that works on your core is very helpful
 
you really do not need a big expensive machine tho all you need is a floor and a good dvd
