BASI Pilates ™ Workshops - South Africa 2010
Feet first for Lower Extremity Alignment
Workshop Description:
A key component of movement education is to enhance posture and gait pattern through improving the alignment of
the lower extremity from the feet up. Whilst hip disassociation is important in core training, footwork is often
ignored or less considered when dealing with postural issues. This workshop looks at simple ways to improve lower
extremity alignment, using both footwork and hip disassociation exercises. There are some great "take home"
exercises for clients with foot and lower extremity issues and are a great compliment to any postural, sports or
rehabilitation programme. Schedule for the day will include, Anatomy of the foot it's function and influence on
postural alignment, review of the alignment of the lower extremity including hip, knee and ankle, Foot exercises
with props, hip disassociation movement for core control.

Spinal Biomechanics
Optimizing Spinal Biomechanics: What you should know as a Pilates Instructor
Back pain affects at least 80% of us some time in our lives. Billions are spent annually by people looking for relief from back pain through surgery, doctor's visits, X-rays, MRI scans and medications. Many sufferers seek remedy at Pilates studios after poor assessment of the situation, narrow clinical approach and symptomatic focus (rather than functional focus) leaves them frustrated. In this workshop you will upgrade your understanding of spinal biomechanics allowing you to create more specific and effective mat exercises for this population. Although rehabilitation is not the domain of Pilates instructors, some Pilates instructors can play a great supportive role in the prevention and treatment of back pain. If you'd like to work alongside a medical rehabilitation team, this workshop is for you.
