REHAB PROGRAM
The Rehabilitation program is specifically for licensed health care professionals wishing to integrate modified STOTT PILATES* exercises for injury prevention and rehabilitation into their practices. Therapists learn a systematic movement based approach to neuromuscular re-education and are taught to observe and understand optimal and non-optimal movement strategies, and how these strategies correlate with pain and pathology. “Neuromotor training principles guide the therapeutic exercise selection and progressions.
Participants also learn how to facilitate the patient’s cognitive involvement in rehabilitation through cuing techniques and tactile facilitation.
