Scoliosis
A Master Workshop for Pilates and Movement Teachers with Madeline Black
In this workshop, you will learn to identify structural and functional scoliosis using simple assessment skills and understand the movement mechanics of the spine along with the dysfunction created by scoliosis. Create an effective exercise program for your clients with scoliosis using specific exercises that target the balance between release and support of the structure. Madeline will utilize the Pilates apparatus, mat, rollers, balls, and spine corrector to identify movement patterns and develop corrective exercises.
Sole to Spine
"From Sole to Spine: An In-depth Exploration of the Relationship between the Foot and Structures of the Pelvis and Spine."
Ever wonder how feet influence the core? Discover how to correct misaligned feet and achieve better overall movement function for your clients. Help those with foot issues unlock reciprocal movement dysfunction in the spine and pelvis (and vice versa) through standing, walking and non-weight bearing choreography. This two-day workshop will explore the anatomy and function of the feet up through the pelvic-lumbar junction.
