We’ve Got Your Back: How to Address Common Injuries and Disorders of the Spine through Pilates Exercise

“If your spine is inflexibly stiff at 30, you are old. If it is completely flexible at 60, you are young.”

Joseph Pilates was passionate about the spine—it was central to his writings and teaching. Clients with spinal disorders often come to Pilates looking for relief and improvement, and low back pain is a leading cause of disability. Learn about the anatomy of the spine, the relationship of the spine to the ribs, pelvis, and shoulders, and common dysfunctions that affect the spine. Finish this course with a newfound confidence in helping clients with issues surrounding the spine.

Objectives:

Demonstrate knowledge of the anatomy of the spine—from the vertebrae to the ligaments, muscles, fascia, and other structures surrounding it
Understand the relationship between the spine, ribs, pelvis, and shoulders.

Recommend home exercises to clients to continue their path to optimum function
