Body Connection Pilates + More
"I started coming to Body Connection less than a year ago to try
to find relief from back pain, related to shoulder surgery 6 years earlier.
I can't say enough positive about Rachel's skill in diagnosing how
weakness of core muscles and overuse of others was contributing to
my problems. By the end of the first lesson, i already was feeling relief.
Rachel is very organized, and sessions fly by. She is thoughtful about
targeting interventions to the individual clients' needs. I can't say enough
good. I haven't worked with other instructors at Body Connection, but
from what I've seen they are also great."

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.
  • Describe common spine dysfunctions, including their etiologies and movement restrictions
  • Create a plan of Pilates sessions for a client with these dysfunctions
  • Recommend home exercises to clients to continue their path to optimum function
​Prerequisites:
