Don't miss your chance to bone up on the

latest scientific updates in bone health &    exercise!

 

 Here's a shocking statistic... Worldwide, 1  out of every 2 women, and 1 out of every 4 men over age 50 has low bone density! It is essential to meet the needs of this growing population by choosing appropriate exercises, modifying standard Pilates exercise repertoire on mat and all apparatus, and eliminating contra-indicated movements.    

 

Learn to:  

  • teach mat classes for fit and frail older adults
  • assess the client with osteoporosis
  • apply the latest research on exercise
  • create safe and effective Pilates apparatus sessions   

When a person with low bone density breaks a bone, they don't feel it, and we don't hear it. How can we prevent inadvertent injury to our clients? Spinal flexion exercises are contra-indicated for those with osteoporosis. So, if you can't flex the spine, how do you strengthen the abdominals and keep the spine healthy?
