About the Course
TEN’s Pre and Post Natal CPD enables the trainer to have an understanding of how each trimester affects the anatomy and physiology of the female body and how we can promote safe and healthy activity within these stages of pregnancy. Often female clients are eager to get back into a fitness regimen during the postnatal phase. As a result, returning to exercise can be not only daunting but also physically demanding.
This CPD will provide an awareness of the difficulties that the female clients may encounter and how to combat particular issues. This CPD is delivered within 2 separate days. The first day will cover the learning content, while the second day covers both theory and practical assessment.
“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.”
Louise Ginsberg, October 2017 graduate
