Navigating Lower back Pain in Pilates
Navigating Lower back Pain in Pilates
Lower back pain is a significant issue for many of the clients we see in the Pilates studio and sometimes it’s hard to know where to begin. This workshop is geared towards both new and experienced instructors alike. Students will learn what are considered “red flags” or reasons for a client to avoid participating in Pilates because of pain and questions to ask to help your client decide if an exercise is appropriate for them. We’ll work to dispel some common myths about lower back pain and learn strategies to help modify common exercises for someone in pain. Finally, we’ll have some time at the end for a Q&A to answer any specific questions you have about your current clients.

These courses are intended for rehabilitation professionals who already are licensed in another health care field such as physical or occupational therapy, chiropractic, nursing, etc. They focus more on clinical applications than our standard courses and do not spend as much time reviewing and teaching basic anatomy or fitness programming. If you aren't sure if this is the right fit for you please reach out to us at education@movementconnectsus.com and we're happy to chat about your individual needs.

CoreAlign® 2 - Progressions for Rehabilitation Professionals
CoreAlign® 2 builds on the exercises learned in CoreAlign® 1 to expand the rehabilitation professional’s ability to create customized exercise programs for patients with a wide variety of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. Progressions of several foundational exercises, including plank work, standing, and gait exercises, are included to help patients move from rehabilitation to real life in a safe and effective environment. In addition, training techniques using CoreAlign® rotator discs and variable directions of resistance are explored to expand your understanding of the CoreAlign® system. Completing both CoreAlign® 1 and 2 satisfies the course requirements for the Balanced Body CoreAlign® instructor training program. After completing the two courses, students may apply to take both a written and practical exam to earn the designation of a Qualified CoreAlign® Instructor.
