Clinical Pilates Instructor Course
The Clinical Pilates Instructor course enables you to safely guide your clients toward better posture, movement, and rehabilitation. Two-course levels guide you from basics to more complex exercises. You gain skills for one-on-one work and small group sessions
Why Clinical Pilates?
It uses targeted exercises to fix posture and build core strength. You work on correcting movement issues and reducing pain. I believe it’s more important than teaching people another unnecessary way of exercising their bodies to achieve their personal wellness goals. As you can see, the industry is filled with Pilates instructors; it will be soon when professionals like you who can and know how to help real clients who truly need your support in posture correction from their desk job, injury rehabilitation from the sports or accidents, special population such as pregnancy, old age or living in chronic pain with stiffness but particularly those dealing with life and death situations like recovering from trauma and cancer. This course is not going to be easy, but with my support and handholding, you could gradually and steadily become a highly respected professional in time.
