APPI Equipment Level 4 - Progressions and Planning

Upon completion of  APPI’s Equipment Levels 1, 2 & 3 , participants can undertake this final stage of the APPI Clinical Pilates Equipment Certification series.  Equipment Level 4 provides therapists with thirty movements plus variations to enable patients and clients to progress to functional and high-level rehabilitation using the Pilates equipment. These progressively more challenging exercises complete the rehabilitation program. 

A series of workshops on posture, posture assessment, Pilates assessment, and program planning are designed to provide participants with skills in all aspects of teaching Pilates. Case studies are independently designed and discussed to enable participants to selectively apply the entire range of movements to specific populations by the end of the course.
