In this 12-hour workshop, we will be conducting a general anatomy and physiology overview, focusing on the musculoskeletal and the nervous systems. We will study healthy movement patterns and the specific anatomy associated with these patterns. Additionally, we will look at common compensatory patterns established either through a traumatic or a chronic injury and learn how to unravel those compensatory patterns through muscular reeducation. Special focus will be paid to the spine, the pelvis and the shoulder girdle.

This course will be taught by Dennis Martin, a licensed Physical Therapist with over 10 years of experience working with both professional and amateur athletes. Dennis is also a Certified Athletic Trainer, an Active Release Techniques Certified Provider, and a Trigger Point Dry Needling Certified Provider.  Dennis currently works at and owns ProActive Physical Therapy in Highlands Ranch, which provides physical therapy for the Colorado Avalanche.

The objective of this workshop is to present the Beginning Level Classic Pilates Repertoire through the physics of the choreography and examine fundamental movement skills that are both developed and required in the Pilates Method. We will begin this exploration with a discussion and demonstration of basic physics: Levers, pulleys, and observations of weight falling through structures, etc. followed by a presentation of the Beginning Pilates repertoire. The information from both of these conversations will be integrated as the conversation progresses.

This workshop provides the foundation for the Mentorship Training program at Functional Strength Pilates.  It is comprehensive enough to also stand alone as a continuing education course for those wishing to expand or refresh their professional Pilates training.
