Description
Women are predominantly affected by hypermobility due to hormonal reasons associated with reproduction. Pre-activation of fascial lines gives stability to movement, lessening discomfort and pain while improving function. Learn how to assess the levels of severity of hypermobility to build confidence for you and your client. Learn strategies of pre-activation through not only the core but also the spine and extremities. Come away with a new understanding of how the pre-activation in mat work and on the Reformer and Chair will help your client successfully participate in Pilates without injury. All active people can use this course!
