A request please for research I am working on
As part of our work on researching strength and Pilates I realised that there are a lot of unknowns when it comes to GLP-1 (often referred to as Ozempic) and Pilates. I appreciate that many people are now using these medications and we would like to do some research on how we can better improve and support our pilates clients. If you are using or have used these medications, we would appreciate it if you completed this survey that we have compiled. If you have clients who would be willing to participate in the survey can you please share. The results will be anonymous.
I am conducting literature reviews and interviews as well as part of this process.
We will share our findings in a detailed article once we have had the opportunity to collate the material.

Part 3 of board ball

Upto know you have probably thought that thos class was just about feet. This is where I reveal the class had been designed for a client. The client had arrived complaining of sharp pain around her sacrum when she bent over and lifted her leg to dress.

Before you jump up and down with indignity that I saw her. Lets get some things straight:
- long term working relationship
- good body awareness
- could not access manual therapy that day
- i am an experienced practitioner using movement not manual therapy

We worked intelligently and at the end of the session she could lift her leg without sharp pain. I gave a manual therapist a handover, and two days later she progressed the client.

Listen to the class so ypu can hear the teaching tips.

This class could be used in an ordinary group class. I just refined my focus and process for an individual client

Part 4 is coming and I will give a summary of my process.

A clip from some work I have been doing with clients with a Frozen shoulder. Yes i work with real clients in a real studio. I have had a full class filmed as a case study and I will be sharing this in October as part of our substack for our subscribers. https://bodyorganics.substack.com/)

If you want to see me teach on this subject live and explore options on assessment, problem solving strategies and repertoire ideas come and see me:
- at my studio in West End Brisbane ; or
- in NZ this November https://www.thepilatesexpo.com.au/new-zealand/

Love working with real people and real clients

Part 2 increasing the focus

In this part of the class we incorporated more focus on connecting the feet to the whole lower limb. The class challenges:
- intrinsic feet strength
- proprioception, essential for balance and agility
- hamstrings, through eccentric control
- pelvic stability

Once again, listen to the video it is me in full teaching mode giving specific cues and explanations of the why, what and how.

We have one red spring only and it is enough to provide the challenge.

Full classes like this ( better video and voice quality) are available on substack.

If you want to learn to intelligently teach the client in front of you, consider Body Orgsnics Edication in Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane, Caorns, Sunshine Coast, South Beach Florida.

The feet obsessession continues.

I will admit, I love a prop, more importantly I love purpose.

I have been working on this program for myself:
- to strengthen my feet, post the broken toes incident
- to strengthen and release some lower alignment challenges in sacrum/pelvis after gait changes following the said broken toes.

I thought I would share, so overs could play with this. Josh kindly jumped in to model as we did an impromptu photoshoot at the end of a big day of clients.

I will share this series over the next week. To get the most out of this you will have to listen, as I am in full teacher mode.

Enjoy

Split Pedal Feet focus

This is harder than it looks, but so good.

I have been playing with this series with our studio clients. Why?

The way includes
-Strengthening the medial arch in the foot, so important for gait training
-Strengthening control in the feet so important for runners and dancers

Try this series it is so good. If ypu want to learn more about the wundachair, remember we have a course coming this November in Brisbane. Links to our website in the bio

ENJOY the next month or so as i share some of my ideas that arise from my feet obsession.

September is about strength

I have been following the increasingly strident strength discussion. Thinking about it all and reflecting on the discussion

A detailed article is now available on substack ( link in bio). Lots of thinking, research and reflection.

It is a long read but worth it.
