Workshop: Managing Low Back Pain in a Group Class setting

Pilates Instructors!

Do you feel pressure to know all the answers when it comes to your client's back pain?

The "Managing Low Back Pain for clients in a Group Class Setting" is short and sweet evidence based workshop full of light bulb moments.

When I completed my Mat + Reformer course, I knew I could whip up a killer class but I lacked the knowledge and confidence around pain science. I definitely felt like an imposter until I completed my Clinical Diploma.

I don't believe everyone needs to complete a Clinical Diploma to know the evidence that's out there. But I do believe everyone should know the guidelines for low back pain & the absolute basics around back pain management. So here I am, bridging the gap.

My goal is to help you make confident decisions and back yourself as a teacher.
