Unlock Your Potential: A Course for Pilates Instructors of All Certifications

 

Join us for a 3-day Pilates for Injuries and Pathologies course, where we will explore a physical therapy approach to working with clients who have injuries, physical limitations, or movement dysfunctions. The course will primarily focus on the cervical and lumbar spine, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, and foot. It will cover functional anatomy, biomechanics, and review current literature.

The course will examine specific injuries and pathologies such as disc disease, post-surgical conditions, rotator cuff syndrome, tendinopathies, and osteoarthritis. Participants will learn about precautions and contraindications for these conditions, as well as exercise options and modifications to the original BASI Pilates repertoire. Through lectures, discussions, demonstrations, and practice, students will learn safe ways to work with clients who suffer from some of the most commonly encountered pathologies and injuries.
