What do we teach?

• This course will insure Pilates teachers to be able to get ‘hands on’ with their clients. It will not qualify you as a massage therapist.
• We will teach you the importance of how to use touch, appropriate handling techniques and how to use your hands when working with your clients in a professional and effective way.
• We will introduce you to basic massage techniques and will explore trigger points and what science currently has to say about them.
• We discuss why getting hands on makes a difference when working with our clients during their Pilates sessions, as well as rules of how to get hands on and when not to handle our clients.
• Going limbic: what is it and how to recognise a limbic response.
• We cover red flags and when to refer on.
• We will integrate massage into Pilates exercises so you can use your skills straight away with your clients during your Pilates sessions
