Designed by Australian physiotherapists for physiotherapists and equivalent degree therapists, the APPI Pilates Method presents the most recent research relevant to Pilates and teaches a realistic framework of Pilates exercises to apply in the clinical setting. The five key Pilates elements of the APPI Pilates approach are taught to develop solid foundations for Pilates teaching.
Twenty-two movements for training lumbo-pelvic, scapulo-thoracic and cervical stabilisation are learnt through observation, self-participation and practice teaching on APPI Pilates Matwork Level 1.
Discussion of clinical application of the Pilates movements occurs at the time of their teaching to provide participants with the understanding to be able to teach these exercises to patients and clients after the course. Case studies are reviewed and participants have the chance to design and discuss their own treatment plans. A guided workshop on Pilates imagery assists participants in generating the skills required for effective cueing.
Completing APPI Pilates Matwork Level 1 is the first step to becoming an APPI Pilates matwork instructor and precedes Matwork Level 2 and Matwork Level 3 in APPI’s Matwork Certification Series.
