Postural Analysis

Sunday 10 February 10am - 2pm

In this workshop we discuss the theories and physiology behind postural deterioration. From this understanding we can relate the changes in movement to the muscle chains that provide stability whilst producing force. Using our key movement pattern assessments we can identify and understand how the body compensates for the weakness that inevitably leads to dysfunction and postural changes. These key assessments can then form the foundation of a corrective strategy and effective postural exercise prescription.

This hands on workshop will outline the importance of postural analysis in instructing Pilates exercises.
