Menezes Pilates Practitioner  PRACTITIONER WORKSHOPS The 2 Day Practitioner Workshop, usually held on a Saturday and Sunday, is designed for rehabilitation professionals who would like to teach their clients the functional aspects of essential stretches and floor exercises. These exercises are specifically chosen to address the most common rehab situations - such as lower back pain, shoulder and hip disfunction and a weak core. The approach is to teach the practitioner the fundamentals of specific movement with a view to progressing the client where they are able to manage a routine by themselves. This purely functional approach to Pilates also focusses on: core stability (focusing on lateral core stabilization!) joint stabilization, breathing techniques muscle isolation muscle balancing why exercising with 'neutral spine' can be bad for your back! The course is conducted by Allan Menezes, the pioneer of the Pilates Method in Australia and author of "The Complete Guide to the Pilates Method" . The venue is held at a Central location and runs from 9am to 5pm. Bring your workout gear for a fun-filled, informative day!
