Description

How many times have you been about to start teaching a class and you've asked if anyone has any health issues or injuries, but not really known what to do with the answer.  The suspected meniscus tear, sciatica, rotator cuff injury . Or the client, recovering from a hip replacement.  The hypermobile client who has been told by their physio to go to Pilates.  What I hear most often is Take it easy, don't do too much and stop if there's pain.  Wouldn't it be great if you not only had in-depth knowledge of the most common conditions, but understood exactly how to deal with them and offer safe, inclusive classes or make a real difference to their recovery and management.  Or perhaps know enough to assist physiotherapists and other healthcare providers and take on referrals, immediately widening your client base.This clinical Pilates orthopaedics course (16 CPD points) provides the Pilates instructor with in-depth information on anatomy, detailed descriptions of common joint problems, injuries and health conditions and explains which Pilates exercises should be avoided for each as well as those recommended to improve strength around a joint, stability, flexibility and mobility.  Adaptations and modifications are covered to enable you to not only work privately with clients but also to offer inclusive classes for those who attend your group sessions.  You will also have the knowledge and expertise to offer focussed classes - for example classes for bone health or back care - and work alongside health professionals such as physiotherapists which will make you a very much  "in demand" Pilates instructor.As a knowledgeable, versatile Pilates teacher, you will feel more confident to open your doors to a wider range of clients.  It is common practice for medical and health professionals to advise their patients to do Pilates in order to improve strength, balance and stability, as well as gain all the other benefits Pilates has to offer.  By correcting muscle imbalances and improving posture, many injuries can be avoided and health conditions, as well as pain, can be improved.  This Pilates orthopaedics course will help you gain the reputation of being a skillful, competent Pilates specialist with the ability to support clients' recovery or improve common conditions and reduce pain.
