Do overhead Pilates exercises make your neck, shoulders, or upper back feel tight or uncomfortable? In this video, Lesley Logan explains how to protect your neck during overhead Pilates exercises like Jackknife, Rollover, High Scissors, High Bicycle and other inversions.

You'll learn why neck pain often happens during overhead movements, how proper setup and arm-back connection create better support and why the issue usually starts before the movement even begins. Lesley also shares common mistakes to avoid, breathing tips, movement strategies, safe progressions and how to know if you're truly ready for overhead Pilates exercises.

Whether you're practicing on the Pilates Mat, Reformer, Cadillac or Tower, these principles will help you move with greater confidence, control and safety while building strength for more advanced Pilates exercises.
