adhv Clinical Pilates
“Physiotherapist and former professional dancer with the Australian Ballet, Craig Phillips, pioneered the Clinical Pilates process over 30 years ago by linking emerging spinal stability research to the work of Joseph Pilates and his contemporaries.“ Bron: www.clinicalpilates.com
“Clinical Pilates is a form of physical exercise that focuses on posture, core stability, balance, control, strength, flexibility, and breathing. The Pilates Method was developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century in Germany. These days, Clinical Pilates is often used in conjunction with physiotherapy as a means of treating a variety of injuries, particularly those of the neck and back. This is based on literature that demonstrates strong evidence to support the use of therapeutic exercise in the management of patients with injuries, particularly low back pain. Recent research advocates the retraining of the deep stabilizing muscles for patients with low back pain. Clinical Pilates focuses on the retraining and recruitment of these stabilizing muscles (core stability) as well as improving posture, strength and flexibility.”
In 2018 heb ik de cursus Clinical Pilates level 1 en 2 gevolgd bij Ana Rita Cruz & Elisa Petiz (Portugal) via Smarteducation. Ik volgde zelf in mijn vrije tijd al de gewone Pilateslessen en het leek mij heel fijn om dit te kunnen integreren in mijn behandelingen. Ondertussen gebruik ik de principes van de Clinical Pilates standaard in mijn oefentherapie. Hierdoor gaan de patiënten veel bewuster bewegen en hun eigen corset (de diepe stabiliserende spieren) leren gebruiken om hun nek-en rug beter te kunnen beschermen.
In december 2019 heb ik nog een extra opleiding gevolgd tot pilatesinstructor (Bij Goed Bezig, Hasselt). Hierdoor kan ik mijn patiënten nog beter corrigeren en begeleiden bij de pilatesoefeningen en ben ik in staat om dit ook in kleine groepslessen te geven (zie groepslessen voor meer info).
