STOTT PILATES® Athletic conditioning with the Twist Ball™
Sunday December 1st, 11a-1p
This workshop, developed by the Merrithew® team, uses the Twist Ball to highlight common athletic approaches and programming. The Twist Ball offers up a unique opportunity to incorporate load in both static and via swing and throwing actions that can enhance and stimulate the neuro-myofascial system. Use the Twist Ball to diversify programming, add load and to give direction and focus to movement. Workshop content is designed for healthy, conditioned participants who are eager and able to incorporate an athletic-style challenge into their Pilates practice.
Learning objectives
- Understand and review/enhance basic tenets of commonly accepted sports conditioning movements and protocols
- Explore the concepts of load, momentum and agility in relation to athletic programming and how these concepts can be addressed with the inclusion of the Twist Ball to programming
- Experience variations to standard athletic exercises and how STOTT PILATES-based concepts contribute to increases in overall fitness
- Elicit engagement and responsiveness in preparation for and to complement existing sports conditioning programs and/or training
STOTT PILATES® The Shoulder Girdle: Reformer Programming for Stability & Function
Sunday December 1st, 1:30p-3:30p
The shoulder girdle is a complex structure that is subjected to stresses in everyday life and even more stress during extreme activities. In this lecture/demo-style workshop developed by the Merrithew® team, discover how Pilates programming on the Reformer can be ideal in a post-rehabilitative setting. First, explore the anatomy and biomechanics involved in the normal, healthy functioning of the shoulder girdle, then, discuss common abnormal or dysfunctional movement patterns that can result from injury or strain. Finally, learn how specially selected exercises on the Reformer can address these issues by creating awareness, stability and strength. Exercises are layered to restore functional mobility, then progress to work-hardening activities and performance enhancement.
Learning objectives
- Understand optimal function and movement patterns of shoulder girdle
- Understand common dysfunctions
- Review anatomy and muscular involvement
- Learn exercises and progressions on the Reformer to optimize shoulder girdle function
