Functional Movement Pilates℠ Certification
Pilates Machine classes not only strengthen and balance core muscles, but also encourage repatterning of adaptive behaviors. These bahaviors are derived from compensatory patterns resulting from trauma. Pilates will strengthen the postural muscles needed for proper kinetic movement.
Students who complete this 45-hour course will have a deep understanding of movement and its connection to chronic pain. This comprehension will not only be critical in the Pilates studio, but also significant in everyday life.
With Dennis Gibbons LMT as the lead instructor, students can expect a unique teaching style and a holistic approach to the function of human body movement. With 22 years of therapeutic massage and movement experience, Dennis will guide students through the intricate patterns of Functional Movement. By learning how to recognize and resolve postural inefficiencies, students will be able to offer more constructive correction when teaching someone in a studio setting.
Prior to the first class, students will receive their text and an assignment to prepare him/her for the class. A video will be shown as an introduction to the history of the method. There will be an instruction on breathing techniques synchronized with movement. Students will learn the anatomy and physiology of the first five progressions on the Reformer and apply the progressions to Functional Movement.
Part 2, 3 and 4 will include a review of the concepts learned in previous parts. Students will be challenged on the anatomy and physiology of the movements on the Reformer, Cadillac and Chair. The days will close with the application of the machines to functional movement. Session 5 will explore advanced Functional Movements on the Reformer, Cadillac and Chair. A review of Part 1- 4 will also be included.
Full certification from CVWI requires class hours, 30 Observation, 30 Assisting hours and completion of 3 Private sessions. Observation and assisting may be fulfilled in the Pilates Studio at Chagrin Valley Wellness Center.
