Prerequisite: Equipment Level 2

This series of courses equips the physiotherapist, exercise physiologist and exercise scientist with the skills necessary to work in an equipment studio/rehabilitation setting/physiotherapy practice with Pilates large equipment.

These courses have been developed by a Sports physiotherapist merging contemporary rehabilitation research with Pilates and will be tutored by physiotherapists and exercise physiologists. Rehabilitation systems and an advanced understanding of applied anatomy to the stabilising systems will be included in these courses.

Our courses are conducted in 3 levels for Pilates Large Equipment - the Reformer, the Wunda chair and the Trapeze table (Cadillac) are included at each level. 

Level 3 Equipment – Advanced level exercise repertoire on the Reformer, Trap table (Cadillac) and Wunda chair.

A review of research and clinical application of fascial bands and muscle connectivity. 

Exercises – Reformer, Trap table and Wunda chair.

This repertoire challenges the client further with complex movement patterns, unilateral patterns of movement, longer levers and more instability. This course is a must for clinicians dealing with athletes, manual workers or clients who stick to their Pilates and keep asking for more challenging routines.
