Are you interested in deepening your understanding of anatomy, physiology, and injuries to better serve clients with a variety of physical challenges through Pilates? This workshop is for you!
As Pilates instructors, it’s important that we are able to cater to a wide range of students, not just the physically fit — because we know Pilates is about more than just fitness.
It’s a mind and body journey that can benefit overall health and wellness and should be choreographed with a variety of people in mind — and this course will help you improve your understanding of what it means to design programs specifically for special populations who enroll in your classes.
Here’s what we’ll cover…
1. Increase your anatomical knowledge
Learn more about anatomy, biomechanics, pathologies, and injuries to deepen your understanding of a variety of conditions – such as pregnancy, fibromyalgia, back pain, or injuries — and train in a way that feels comfortable and safe for each one.
2. Learn proper exercise techniques
Learn how to identify faulty postures and movement patterns while understanding key anatomical elements as they relate to functional movement and exercise. You’ll also learn how to make modifications to Pilates choreography as needed.
3. Learn how to identify a need
This workshop will teach you how to examine dysfunctional patterns in various regions of the body, how to manage the most common types of injuries/special populations, and how to create and practice the appropriate programs for them.
