Why it’s relevant to you as a Pilates instructor

Pilates instructors are often referred clients by various allied health professions, such as Physiotherapists and Podiatrists, for support with rehabilitation. Backache being a common example.

What we will give you as a Pilates instructor is the ability to assess, monitor and progress your clients with their post-rehabilitation needs. In addition, we will teach you how to work with your current clients, to test, identify and take preventative measures for risk reduction. The course will also enhance your relationship with the physiotherapists and other healthcare providers because you will have common language between you.
