1st Edition
by Samantha Wood (Author)
Your clients and athletes
demand and deserve customized, adaptable solutions when injury or
chronic pain impairs movement and performance. Known for its whole-body
approach to fitness, Pilates is the perfect way to help your patients
recover, rehabilitate, and reach their goals.
With Pilates for Rehabilitation,
you will learn how to apply proven Pilates methods to address
dysfunction and help your patients achieve optimal performance. Renowned
instructor and physical therapist Samantha Wood provides detailed
descriptions of the most effective exercises for rehabilitating and
healing injuries, improving functional strength, promoting efficient
movement, and managing pain.
In addition to step-by-step
instructions for Pilates apparatus and mat work, you will learn the
indications and contraindications of each exercise and the primary
muscles involved so you can determine when the exercise is appropriate
for each client. Modifications and progressions allow for adaptation of
exercises based on the stage of rehabilitation or the severity of the
injury or condition being treated. Suggested exercise protocols,
organized by common orthopedic injuries in anatomical regions, offer the
flexibility to tailor a program to the specific needs of each client.
Authoritative yet accessible, Pilates for Rehabilitation
paves the road to recovery. Recommended by BASI Pilates and full of the
latest research, proven exercises, and expert advice, this is the
ultimate rehabilitation guide.
CE exam available! For certified professionals, a companion continuing education exam can be completed after reading this book. The Pilates for Rehabilitation Online CE Exam may be purchased separately or as part of the Pilates for Rehabilitation With CE Exam package, which includes both the book and the exam.
