Happy International Women’s Day! ♥️
Totay we remember all the beautiful women in Pilates that shaped this practice. First came Clara. She opened the first studio together with Joseph and helped in the progression of the practice we all love. This is her teaching a student.

Fun fact:

Joe may have been the creator behind the Pilates method, but it was Clara who vocalized and clarified how to adapt the exercises to fit each client. According to many of the Pilates Elders (those teachers who trained directly with Joe), Joe was fairly brisk and abrupt with his instructions and directions, perhaps partially due to the fact that English was not his first language. It was Clara who often spent the most time with clients, explaining what Joe wanted.

As Pilates Instructors we often work with clients that have chronic or recurring or presitant pain. Clients that might have been referred to us by physicians due to back pain. For some of them regular pilates classes make all the difference and their pain is reduced or even non existent anymore. However, how many keep getting the same pain over and over if they miss a class or overdue it a little or any other reason? Is their pain really caused by their posture, habitual moving patterns or structural issues? What if there is an other explenation?
Studies have shown that about 85% of people with chronic back pain do not have structural damage that explains their pain. And many other symptoms like migraines, digestive disorders, abdominal pain, and fibromyalgia are also not characterized by structural or tissue damage. The pain is caused by the brain! It is Neuroplastic Pain.

A comprehensive description of Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), including an explanation of the new research demonstrating its effectiveness, background on what neuroscience it is based on, and videos and other resources for how people can learn more from one of its innovators, Alan Gordon, LCSW.
