About the Workshop
This workshop is designed to give you a comprehensive introduction to understanding the pelvic floor and why it’s important when training clients. You’ll learn how to strengthen and control the pelvic floor, how to ingrate this into classes and 1-1 sessions, and how to identify signs of dysfunction in your clients.
By signing up, you’ll receive a complete overview of pelvic health and pelvic floor dysfunction, including emphasis on pelvic health issues in athletes and menopausal clients, alongside the practical application of gym and Pilates-based exercises and structured programming.
You’ll leave the workshop with a better understanding of pelvic health, practical solutions for your clients, and structured programmes to integrate pelvic floor exercises into classes and training.
“The Dynamic Reformer Pilates course has given me a whole new universe of knowledge and a wealth of skills. The whole staff are very friendly and helpful and the course content was challenging and exciting. I'd recommend anyone looking into a reformer course to check this one out. You will not be disappointed.”
