Who Is This Course For?

This course is particularly relevant for Pilates teachers and movement professionals who want to deepen their understanding of the body and feel more confident working with the complexity of the clients they see every day.

It will be especially valuable if you:

• Regularly work with clients managing injuries, health conditions or movement limitations.
• Want to understand more about what may be happening beyond the musculoskeletal system.
• Want to develop your clinical reasoning and problem-solving skills as a movement professional.
• Are interested in the relationship between pathology, physiology and movement.
• Want to better understand your role as a Pilates teacher within the wider continuum of care.

Healthcare professionals and rehabilitation practitioners interested in a movement-based perspective on pathology are also welcome.

Scope of Practice

Pathokinesiology provides a framework for developing a deeper understanding of human movement and the factors that can influence it. This course does not expand an individual’s professional scope of practice.

Participants should continue to work within their existing professional scope and refer to appropriate healthcare practitioners when required.
