Lower Back Injuries & Application with Katie Yip

Pilates has often been praised for its rehabilitative benefits, particularly in addressing lower back injuries through its emphasis on “core stability” exercises. While it is beyond our scope to diagnose or treat these issues, we still play a pivotal role in providing movement-based relief to clients by working around their injuries.

As the approach to treatment of low back issues shifts from passive to active methods that prioritize exercise for prevention and treatment, understanding “core stability” principles, vital for lumbar spine stability, is essential. In this workshop you will learn the three subsystems that govern lumbar spine stability and how they work in synchrony to maintain it effectively.

Gain the skills to assess, manage, and safely incorporate exercises for clients dealing with acute or chronic lower back injuries while adhering to the core tenets of the Pilates method. You will explore concepts in movement tolerance, workload tolerance, and understand how to logically progress and scale training to meet the client at their level.

Through interactive sessions, we’ll transition theory into practical application, ensuring immediate takeaways and hands-on experience applying the learned principles.

Join us in this intimate workshop limited to 12 participants to maximize engagement and learning!
