Rehab through Pilates
Continuing Education for Pilates Instructors.

This 38 hour course is designed to help Pilates' instructors enhance their palpation and analysis skills. By the end of the 6-day course, you will look at your clients very differently and approach their program design from an entirely new perspective. Incorporating manual skills and intelligent movement choices, you will learn to look at your clients from the inside out and never look at the spine the same way again.

This 5-day course includes a detailed manual and emphasizes:

- Hands-on Pilates (improving tactile cueing, evaluation and exercise prescription skills)
- How to evaluate the functional mobility of the spine
- How to evaluate the functional strength of the stabilizing muscles
- Somatovisceral relationships and how they can aid us in program design 
- The importance of a proper medical history and how to use the information in your program design
- Exercise variations to add more spine extension, rotation and lateral flexion to the traditional Pilates' repertoire
- The use of props to assist spine articulation and stability

Dates: April 10, 11, 23, 24, 25th, 2010
Time:  Saturdays and Sundays, 10am - 6 pm each day
             Friday, 12pm - 6pm
