WORKSHOP 1: Alignment, Load and Tempo – Sunday 8.00 – 10.00am & 10.15am – 12.15pm
This practical workshop with Dr. Anderson will focus on using the tools of alignment, load and tempo to facilitate efficient motor learning experiences with clients. Brent will demonstrate how to manipulate alignment, load and tempo to create desired outcomes during instruction on the Pilates equipment.
Brent will also lead participants through a movement experience from mat-work to standing to create increased awareness of these three powerful tools when facilitating movement. Experience Polestar!
WORKSHOP 2: Core Control & Back Pain – What you need to know – Sunday 1.15 – 3.15pm & 3.30 – 5.30pm
Dr. Anderson will provide participants with an up to date review of the latest research investigating the difference between core control and movement based exercises for low back pain.
What do we really think happens when a client with low back pain participates in our Pilates classes and gets better? Is it the core control exercises or something else inherent to the Pilates philosophy or movement?
Brent’s studies and expertise in the field can bring new light and understanding to the field of movement science especially pertaining to its effect on low back pain. Let Anderson take you on a journey of discovery and experience “Contrology”, an amazing solution for low back pain.
