 ^{GENERAL INFORMATION}

A three-day course to help you understand optimal movement and biomechanics.  This is an intensive course focusing on the biomechanical assessment of any client. If you can easily identify and understand why there are movement failures which often lead to pain and problems, you will find it much easier to correct faulty movement patterns resulting in a happy, pain free client.

Following this course, you will also have an in depth understanding of your own physical issues and will leave armed with the know-how of how to correct it.

The theory is bought to life using examples found in the participants of the course and then later using Live case studies with real patients. You will see for yourself how powerful well applied clinical Pilates can be. It is so much more than theory, you will be able to use the material covered on Monday morning!

Regardless of whether you are a movement professional, Physiotherapist or other bodyworker you will gain key knowledge to apply immediately within your working environment and solve the movement mysteries of your clients.

^Objectives
• To understand and be able to apply the basic concepts of core assessment and optimisation strategies from a biomechanics and clinical Pilates perspective.
• To appreciate the fundamental importance of the diaphragm and breathing patterns in the optimal function of the core
• To take-away a full repertoire of extremely useful exercises and tricks to achieve optimal biomechanics for your clients
