This course is tailored for Pilates trainers, fitness professionals, physiotherapists, and enthusiasts with Level One or basic knowledge of classical Pilates exercises on the pilates equipment.
As Pilates teachers, we often work with clients who have knee, spine, or shoulder issues—whether recovering from injury, managing chronic conditions, or simply needing modifications to move safely and effectively. But how do we confidently adapt the Pilates apparatus to meet their needs while maintaining the integrity of the method?
Aim: This six-hour workshop is designed to help you develop a deeper understanding of how to modify Pilates equipment to support clients with knee, spine, or shoulder challenges. We’ll explore the key considerations and principles behind adapting movements, ensuring you provide safe, effective, and empowering sessions that keep your clients progressing.
This is not about memorising set modifications—it’s about starting the conversation on how to think critically and creatively when working with clients who present with these common movement challenges.
Join us for this essential workshop and refine your skills in making Pilates accessible, adaptable, and truly client-centred.
Practical Application: The course includes hands-on practice, allowing you to apply what you've learned in real-world settings.
