Fitness and Pilates Instructors meet a variety of clients who are restricted in their movements for various reasons. Often, spinal flexion is contraindicated due to specific concerns. Learn how to modify Pilates exercises in a range of intensity levels to create workouts that limit spinal flexion while providing an effective full-body workout. Small handweights, Stability Cushions, and the Flex-Band® exerciser are used to increase upper body resistance while further challenging torso stability in a neutral alignment.
Learning objectives
- Discuss how the STOTT PILATES® Principles apply when movement is restricted.
- Discover how to create a challenging workout without altering spinal alignment.
- Learn to incorporate small handweights in a full flexion-free workout.
- Explore exercise modifications to keep the workout safe.
