This two-day remote course is an introduction to the Pilates Method, and is intended for those rehab professionals with a secure background in therapeutic exercise prescription and experience in treating pelvic health patient dysfunctions.
This two-day, remote continuing education course was designed to introduce the Pilates Method and is intended for those rehab professionals with a secure background in therapeutic exercise prescription and experience in treating pelvic health patient dysfunctions. This course was developed by Pamela Downey, Board Certified Pelvic Health Practitioner and a Polestar-trained Pilates Educator since 2000.
Pilates is everywhere these days. More than likely, practitioners and their patients have taken a Pilates class live using equipment such as the Reformer or a mat class. Pilates reformers are more common in all types of rehab settings than they were a decade ago. Physical therapists have a strong therapeutic exercise basis to their profession. Often, however, the training needed to use Pilates properly can be intimidating. Perhaps a clinic has a reformer that is just sitting there, underutilized, and a practitioner is motivated to begin using it with their patients. This course is designed for the therapist who wants to bridge that gap and begin using Pilates-based therapeutic exercise in the clinic.
The course will focus on using Pilates to further rehabilitate the patient currently in the clinic, moving patients from a mostly passive treatment experience to actualizing their healing with active movement and neuromuscular integration.
In this course, participants will be introduced to Joseph Pilates, as well as some equipment “stars” that he designed and built to further deepen awareness of movement and make it more accessible to improved health and wellness. Hopefully, registrants will be inspired to continue their Pilates education in a formal education program; but in the meantime, this course will allow the therapist to access a portion of the repertoire to then share with all types of rehab patients while deepening understanding of the therapeutic exercise principles.
