Pilates Training Essentials

This course is designed for Physiotherapists who want to integrate Pilates into their clinical practice with confidence. It's ideal if you're uncertain when to choose Pilates vs other interventions, how to progress systematically, or how to integrate Pilates into broader rehab programs. This is clinical reasoning training, not traditional Pilates certification.

We highly recommend it. Exercise Prescription Essentials provides the foundational patient engagement, exercise prescription, and program design frameworks that this workshop builds upon. EPE graduates can focus entirely on Pilates-specific clinical reasoning without re-covering fundamental concepts. However, if you already have strong exercise prescription foundations from other training, you can take this as a standalone course.

Yes, if you have solid exercise prescription foundations. We'll teach essential Pilates principles and exercises from the ground up, but we won't spend time on basic exercise prescription concepts (that's what EPE covers). You'll learn what you need to integrate Pilates clinically without prior Pilates experience.

Traditional certifications are comprehensive, expensive, and time-intensive (often 50+ hours over months). They teach extensive repertoire with minimal clinical reasoning. This workshop is 2 days focused on essential exercises and clinical decision-making frameworks. You'll leave knowing when and how to use Pilates clinically, not just how to teach exercises.

Mat and reformer represent the essential equipment for Physiotherapy based Pilates practice. They provide the greatest versatility and accessibility for rehabilitation applications. Rather than overwhelming you with comprehensive equipment coverage, we focus on mastering the clinical reasoning and progression principles that matter most.

No. The workshop includes hands-on practice with equipment during the 2 days. For clinical implementation afterward, mat work requires no equipment. However, access to a reformer is highly recommended. We'll discuss practical implementation strategies during the workshop.

Absolutely. Traditional certifications excel at teaching comprehensive repertoire but often lack clinical reasoning frameworks for Physiotherapy practice. This workshop teaches you when to choose Pilates vs other interventions, how to integrate it into rehab programs, and how to make systematic clinical decisions - skills traditional certifications don't address.

This workshop qualifies you to integrate Pilates into your Physiotherapy practice with clinical reasoning and essential repertoire. It's not designed to make you a comprehensive Pilates instructor - it's designed to make Pilates a strategic tool in your exercise therapy approach. If you want to offer dedicated Pilates classes, traditional certification may be more appropriate.

These courses are complementary additions to your exercise therapy toolkit. Pilates Training Essentials teaches when and how to use Pilates for movement quality, control, and specific clinical presentations. Strength Training Essentials (separate course) focuses on strength development principles using typical resistance training tools such as free weights, resistance bands and body weight. Together with Exercise Prescription Essentials, they form a comprehensive exercise therapy skillset.

This is a comprehensive 2-day intensive workshop covering all 6 modules (approximately 14 hours of content plus breaks). The format allows for interactive practice, case study discussions, and real-time Q&A throughout.

While designed specifically for physiotherapists with 0-8 years of experience, the adherence-focused content and systematic frameworks are valuable for any physio and health professional wanting to improve patient engagement and build their exercise therapy caseload.

Yes! While this isn't a hands-on skills workshop, you'll participate in case study discussions, practice assessment frameworks, design programs collaboratively, and engage in coaching conversation exercises throughout both days.
