Spine Corrector: Applications for Musculoskeletal Imbalances

Description

Spine Corrector: Applications for Musculoskeletal Imbalances - Presented by Pat Guyton

Joe Pilates’ creative vision for his work included the entire repertoire on all his equipment and the mat. He named one piece of equipment the Spine Corrector which lives up to the name! It is deceptively simple in design and is a powerful tool for improving core strength and assessing muscle imbalances. The arc provides proprioceptive feedback for thoracic extension and lower core control. Exercise selection can be adapted for those clients who need remedial assistance and those who desire an intense workout. My personal teaching career has shown me that the Spine Corrector often sits in a lonely corner. The focus of this workshop is to offer simple tips on how to match the individual client to the shape of the machine and provide you will insights for teaching success.
