Degenerative-dystrophic diseases in middle-aged women are a common pathology of the spine, which is caused by a sedentary lifestyle, insufficient attention to the problem of spinal health and signs of the disease at an early stage of its development. Purpose: to determine the features of improving the vital functions of middle-aged women with degenerative-dystrophic lesions of the lumbar spine by Pilates. Research methods: theoretical analysis of scientific and methodological literature, empirical (questionnaires by Ostwestry, Rolland-Morris, visual-analog scale), pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. The women of the main group were engaged in the developed program of physical therapy, which provides a reasonable choice of tools and methods, taking into account age, pain and functional status of the spine. For each patient of the main group, the means and methods of physical rehabilitation were selected individually, which would most effectively help to solve the problem and achieve the set goal. Classes were held individually 4 times a week for 40-50 minutes. Results: experimental verification of the effectiveness of the developed program of physical therapy showed that at the end of the study women of the main group had better indicators according to the questionnaire Osvestri by 9.86 points (p<0.05), Roland-Morris - by 2.41 points (p<0.05), the indicator of VAS - by 1 point (p<0.05) compared with women in the comparison group, respectively, which confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed program of physical therapy with the means of Pilates.
