Rehabilitative Pilates For Injuries Workshop

Pilates is a rehabilitative fitness regimen that is commonly used by physical therapists to rehabilitate injuries. The principal behind Pilates is to heal injuries by exercising and strengthening the area slowly and cautiously using modifications, eventually building up to more challenging exercises until full strength is restored.

In this workshop you will learn the beginner mat sequence, with a focus on modifying exercises to accommodate but still strengthen injured areas. You will also learn how to advance this modifications as the injured area gets stronger. Exercises are learned through watching demonstrations and then practicing on your own with hands on corrections. Modifications learned in this workshop can be used to accommodate your injury in any regular Pilates class!
