Advanced Screening Skills

Join Dr. Brent Anderson in this workshop which provides teachers with basic skills to do a static and dynamic postural assessment. He focuses on structural alignment in functional activities (e.g. squatting, walking, rolling, and reaching), and shows how Pilates exercises can influence asymmetries of the head, neck, trunk, and pelvis in clients with common conditions like hip or knee replacements and chronic back pain. He includes Polestar's Postural Assessment, which identifies key anatomical landmarks to improve a teacher's eye in assessing symmetries and asymmetries that are common in many clients. Because alignment is a key principle in Pilates work, it is essential to develop a keen eye and a deeper understanding to assess which postural variances will produce the greatest change in clients' performance and overall outcome.

Objectives

- Give Pilates teachers tools to assess their clients

- Learn about the information you get from doing a screening and how you can use that information to help clients

- Go through screenings so you can see how this information is applied in an actual class
