“…A consistent finding across the literature were the noticeable improvements in core strength, posture, flexibility, balance, function, body awareness and joint stability (Cuddy & Gaskell, 2020; Gaskell & Williams, 2019; Gaskell et al, 2019; Gracey et al, 2015; Lausen et al, 2018; van der Linden et al, 2014; Wells, Kolt, Marshall, & Bialocerkowski, 2014b).…”

“…Following quality appraisal, Lynne Gaskell and Ioanna Giannakou agreed on including eight of the eight studies (Cuddy & Gaskell, 2020; Gaskell & Williams, 2019; Gaskell, Williams, & Preece, 2019; Gracey, Harte, Allen, & Dunwoody, 2015; Lausen, Marsland, Head, Jackson, & Lausen, 2018; Wells, Kolt, Marshall, & Bialocerkowski, 2014a, 2014b; van der Linden et al, 2014); Table 1 shows the results given to all papers in CASP appraised by both Lynne Gaskell and Ioanna Giannakou (CASP, 2018). There was no cut‐off score for exclusion.…”

“…A number of studies identified that the patients were motivated to engage in a more active lifestyle (Cuddy & Gaskell, 2020; Gaskell & Williams, 2019; Gracey et al, 2015; Lausen et al, 2018; van der Linden et al, 2014); due to a variety of reasons some of which were related to increased physical abilities and body awareness that allowed patients to follow exercise programs (Cuddy & Gaskell, 2020; Gaskell & Williams, 2019; Lausen et al, 2018; van der Linden et al, 2014) and achieve recommended levels of weekly physical activity (Cuddy & Gaskell, 2020; Gaskell & Williams, 2019).…”

“…Overall, the studies we included lead us to understand that both physiotherapists and patients noticed the psychological benefits of this method, more specifically in confidence, stress‐relief and reducing fear of avoidance (Cuddy & Gaskell, 2020; Gaskell & Williams, 2019; Gaskell et al, 2019; Gracey et al, 2015; Lausen et al, 2018; van der Linden et al, 2014; Wells et al, 2014b). In some studies, the participants highlight the positive effects this method had in simple and complex daily life activities such as hobbies and work (Gaskell & Williams, 2019; Gaskell et al, 2019; Gracey et al, 2015; Lausen et al, 2018; van der Linden et al, 2014).…”

“…Studies also demonstrated that this method increased the patient's autonomy to manage their own condition by reducing pain, weakness and increasing function, perceived strength and body awareness (Cuddy & Gaskell, 2020; Gaskell & Williams, 2019; Gaskell et al, 2019; Lausen et al, 2018; van der Linden et al, 2014; Wells et al, 2014b). Additionally, it was identified that this method can promote self‐management by increasing adherence to specified home exercises advised by a physiotherapist (Gaskell & Williams, 2019; Gaskell et al, 2019; Gracey et al, 2015; van der Linden et al, 2014).…”

Objectives A review of qualitative studies exploring Pilates‐trained physiotherapists and their patients' perspectives and experiences of Pilates, aiming to improve practice and provide a deeper insight into the way this method is being utilized along with its effects on participants. Design Qualitative evidence synthesis using meta‐ethnography. Data sources A comprehensive search strategy, limited to English language articles, was conducted to MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, CINAHL, PEDro and Cochrane Central for the period of January 2000 (inception) to June 2020. This was supplemented by identification of Grey literature through Google Scholar, website searching and reference lists. Study selection Qualitative studies reporting experiences and perceptions of patients' or Pilates‐trained physiotherapists' regarding the efficacy of Pilates for the management of chronic musculoskeletal conditions. After a process of exclusion, eight studies were included in the synthesis. Data extraction The textual data were analysed by a qualitative software program. Studies were critically appraised independently by two reviewers. Data synthesis Articles were synthesized using a technique of meta‐ethnography. Three themes emerged from the process of reciprocal translation: (1) Benefits of the Pilates approach; (2) most effective ways to utilize and most beneficial parameters and (3) risks, precautions, contraindications and indications. Conclusion This is the first qualitative evidence synthesis of practitioners' and patients' perspectives of Pilates. Findings support evidence for the various benefits of this approach and provide fresh insight into the way this method can be practiced to maximize efficiency and focus on the patients' needs. Key recommendations Pilates‐trained physiotherapists identified that Pilates can be tailored to individual requirements, preferences and needs, to promote self‐management to facilitate clinical and cost‐effective care.
