Foot Series from APPI Pilates Equipment Level 1

In this video we demonstrate the foot series on the cadillac which is part of APPI’s Equipment 1 Course for Lumbopelvic Pain.

This series of exercises is one of the starting points for rehabilitating lumbopelvic pain on the cadillac and the combination of external rotation (first position) and parallel gives the client an opportunity to work their lower limbs through different ranges of hip rotation. You’ll see that the position on the cadillac requires a higher degree of hip flexion than that on the reformer and so can be used to challenge those who require deep hip flexion for their sport such as martial arts, hockey and rowing. The extended position at the end provides neural gliding which, for the right client at the right can provide mobility and pain relief.
