Rehabilitation Program Outline
Spinal, Pelvic & Scapular Stabilization: Matwork & Reformer – RMR1
This course introduces you to the biomechanical principles of STOTT PILATES and their application to modified Matwork, light equipment and Reformer exercises. Emphasis is on lumbo-pelvic and shoulder girdle stabilization and the role they play in rehabilitation and injury prevention. Participants also learn the following: review of STOTT PILATES basic principles, identifying proper execution and movement patterns, effective verbal cueing and imagery and clinical problem solving using the STOTT PILATES method.
Peripheral Joint Stabilization: Matwork & Reformer – RMR2
Building on the biomechanical and stabilization principles learned in RMR1, we keep the emphasis on core stability while mobilizing the peripheral joints. These exercises are designed to prevent and rehabilitate common injuries by balancing and strengthening muscles around the joints in order to restore and maintain healthy movement patterns. Participants also learn the following: a focus on injuries of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle and clinical problem solving using the STOTT PILATES method.
Spinal, Pelvic & Scapular Stabilization: Cadillac, Chair & Barrels – RCCB1
Learn to incorporate the different levels of resistance and support provided by the Cadillac Trapeze Table, Stability Chair and Barrels to improve mobilization and stabilization of the lumbo-pelvic region and shoulder girdle, with an emphasis on their roles in injury prevention and rehabilitation. Participants also learn the following: review of STOTT PILATES Basic Principles, identifying proper execution and movement patterns, effective verbal cueing and imagery, clinical problem solving using the STOTT PILATES method and over 70 exercises, plus multiple modifications.

Peripheral Joint Stabilization: Cadillac, Chair & Barrels – RCCB2
Learn to stabilize the musculo-skeletal structures with a widely varied series of non weight-bearing and weight-bearing exercises. You will begin by targeting the upper and lower extremities and enabling isolation of the joints while maintaining core stability. Then learn how to help patients and clients progress to weight-bearing exercises in order to improve functional alignment and core stability. This course introduces more intermediate level exercises and return to sport and activity progressions. Participants also learn the following: a focus on injuries of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle clinical problem solving using the STOTT PILATES method.
