APPI Equipment Level 3 - Spinal Articulation & Stretching

$764.50 inc. GST

The extreme versatility of the large Pilates equipment really comes into play during APPI Equipment Level 3 which explores articulation and stretching.  During this course you will build upon fundamental movements taught on Equipment Levels 1 and 2. The large Pilates equipment can offer fantastic options for your patients to begin to increase range of motion in a safe and progressive manner.  Imagination is the only limitation to the possible repertoire.  Using the resistance of the springs to support movement, learn how to modify the traditional exercises to safer options for the clinical environment.  We know we need our clients to move, but we also know after injury there can be a lot of apprehension. Using the equipment can really give your clients the confidence they need to progressively move beyond uniplanar movements, an important consideration when attempting to prepare the body to cope with normal and sometimes unpredictable daily movement.
