Text Box: The Upper Core was developed to respond to the prevalence of repetitive stress injuries of the shoulders, arms and hands that have accompanied our increased use of computers. This DVD provides 25 excellent restoratives and correctives for any upper extremity problem, ranging from surgery to cancer. The Pelvic Core focuses on 24 balancing exercises to help low back and pelvic pain, knee problems, and post-pregnancy restoration. This is an excellent video to help clients gain smaller muscle strength that can help them regain their larger muscle activities such as biking, running, and dancing. The Scoliosis Series Part 1: Management & Improvement Using Wall Springs is designed to help persons who have scoliosis, or abnormal curvature of the spine. Instructions for using Wall Springs and a Scoliometer are included. The Scoliosis Series Part 2: Breathing Exercises as Part of Scoliosis Management continues the concepts for managing scoliosis from Part 1, but focuses on breathing for long-term management. The Breast Cancer Survivor’s Guide to Physical Restoration is for women who have had or will have surgeries related to breast cancer treatment. A Step-Wise Approach to Post-Natal Restoration is designed to be of use to any woman who has given or will give birth.

Get on our Email Update List for news about new courses and products! Text Box: The response to these DVDs has been extremely positive from both clients and instructors. Here’s what Richard Rosen of Yoga Journal has to say: “Most of the Pilates videos we see are either straightforward Pilates instruction or a hybrid instruction combining Pilates work with some other method such as yoga asana. Now, physical therapist and certified Pilates instructor Suzanne Martin has devised a unique contribution. ..she’s assembled an intelligent and thorough program, whether as therapy (for pain relief) or as a basic body tune-up.”
