Pilates is neither the hero nor the villain.

Like every intervention in rehabilitation and fitness, its value depends on the goal, the context and the individual.

Evidence-based practice is not about defending methods.

It’s about choosing the right tool for the right person at the right time.

🚫 MYTH: “Never let your knees go past your toes”
✅ TRUTH: Your knees are meant to go past your toes in many movements.

When you squat, lunge, or even walk downstairs, your knees naturally travel forward. Trying to keep them behind your toes can actually shift stress to your hips and lower back instead.

✔️ What matters more:
• Knees track in line with your toes
• You stay balanced and controlled
• No pain during movement

👉 Strong, controlled movement > outdated rules

Behind-the-neck press… myth or truth? 🤔🏋️‍♂️

You’ve probably heard people say this exercise will destroy your shoulders but the reality is more nuanced. Research in biomechanics and strength training shows that the behind-the-neck press places the shoulder in a position of high external rotation and abduction, which can increase stress on the rotator cuff if mobility and control are limited.

According to the American Council on Exercise (ACE) and guidance from the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), exercises that push joints into extreme ranges aren’t inherently dangerous but they require adequate mobility, proper technique, and appropriate load. Studies in sports science and biomechanics also suggest that individuals with limited shoulder flexibility may compensate with poor form, increasing injury risk.

On the flip side, trained athletes especially Olympic lifters often perform similar movements safely because they’ve developed the mobility and stability required. That’s why the issue isn’t the exercise itself it’s whether you are prepared for it.

So… myth or truth?
❌ Myth: “It’s always dangerous”
❌ Myth: “It’s superior for shoulder growth”
✅ Truth: It can be effective for some, but unnecessary
and risky for many.

Train smart: prioritize form, respect your mobility limits, and don’t force positions your body isn’t ready for. 💪
