  • Movement for Hypermobility

    Movement for Hypermobility
    2025/06/17
    Mobility is a popular topic in fitness at the moment but what happens when a person has too much mobility? Hypermobility spectrum disorder and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or EDS are connective tissue disorders where the person’s joints are looser than they should be. This creates joint instability that can lead to pain, frequent sprains and strains or joint dislocations. The goal of movement training for these clients focuses on stability, increasing body awareness and developing postural endurance to train the muscles to support the joints. If you or your clients have hypermobility, this episode will provide guidelines for successfully managing the condition.

  • Patience! Working with Complex Cases

    Patience! Working with Complex Cases
    2025/06/10
    If you work with clients with complex conditions including chronic pain, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue or long covid, you know progress can be slow and erratic. In this episode Brian presents a case study focusing on a client with multiple conditions and we discuss how to create trust, enhance the client’s mind/body connection and stay focused on the client. If you have clients where a straightforward program of mobility, strength and endurance is not working, check this session out for advice on accessing the parasympathetic nervous system to help complex clients make progress.

  • Re-Visiting Active Aging with Erika Quest

    Re-Visiting Active Aging with Erika Quest
    2025/06/03
    Cue up the "Wayback Machine" as we go back to last year and revisit an amazing interview we had with Erika Quest. Erika is a Pilates teacher and founder of Level Up MVMT, an online education platform for movement professionals. We will be discussing her work as an Active Aging specialist and specifically discuss how to add “neuroaerobics” or cognitive exercises to workouts to enhance longevity, memory and the mind-body connection. You’ll come away with lots of easy ways to add this essential component to your workouts.

  • Boney Problems

    Boney Problems
    2025/05/27
    Fractures, bone spurs and malformations all affect how our body moves and influences alignment, joint structure and myofascial balance. Starting with fractures, we discuss how breaks heal, what happens when hardware is used to repair a fracture and how fractures can affect growth patterns in children and adolescents. Fractures can influence leg length, strength and mobility whether they are recent or in the distant past and as movement educators, we often see the results of a fracture long after the bone has healed. We’ll also discuss bone spurs and malformations of the vertebrae as less common but more complicated, boney problems.

  • Bone Basics

    Bone Basics
    2025/05/20
    Since we are on the topic of bones with osteoporosis, we decided to do a deep dive into the structure, development and function of various bones and joints in the body. We discuss how bones are built based on the stresses put on them, how joint structure influences our movement capabilities, how different kinds of joints work and how ligaments and other connective tissue elements assist joint function. Join us for some bone inspiration.

  • Working with Osteoporosis

    Working with Osteoporosis
    2025/05/13
    Working with a client with osteoporosis and managing their expectations can be challenging as a Pilates instructor or personal trainer. Client’s are often not given much guidance by their medical professional and are left on their own to figure out if their current workout routine is helpful or potentially dangerous. Our job is to keep them safe while doing our best to slow, halt or reverse their condition. In this episode we discuss strategies for minimizing risky moves like loaded flexion while working to improve posture, strength and bone density. We hope this conversation provides a starting point for better program design for your clients with osteoporosis.

  • Osteoporosis and Exercise

    Osteoporosis and Exercise
    2025/05/06
    Today Brian and Nora wade into a very controversial topic, osteoporosis, where guidelines for exercise tend to be vague at best. Today we touch on what it is, some general guidelines and ways to keep clients active when flexion and rotation are contraindicated. Join the conversation to see if we can make progress at developing a better answer for clients who are recently diagnosed and trying to figure out how to stay active. This is part 1, in next week’s session, we discuss programming and client management strategies.
